Please spell and write clearly, it's very hard to understand you.

From what I can gather, you want to disable delete rights for one user, and leave them on for another. You don't say what version/distro of Linux you're using, or what kind of FTP server software you're using. Can't really give you any help until you provide some meaningful information.

Hi saran_sai

If this is for anonymous access then the trick to this is that you have different directories for upload and download.

The upload directories have permissions to allow upload of the files but not permissions to execute such a file.

The download directories have the correct permissions to allow just read and download.

It is not smart to allow upload into your normal download directories.


OR is this for authenticated users.

Questions for you.

1. Are the clients and users using a fully compatible FTP program and not just a web browser? To get full benefit from the FTP server you need to use a FTP program eg. WS_FTP or SmartFTP or CuteFTP there are many to choose from.

2. Can the Users login? ftp://username@ftp.yourserver.com

3. If so can they upload and download files?

4. If not is upload not possible or download not possible

5. If upload is not possible it is normally something wrong with the "File permission" you need to give write permission to the relevant directory.

How to set file permissions

If you have no access to the file system on the server then it will be impossible to change what is already set.
