[QUOTE=Shawn.Dohmen@IsleDiscoun;4232629]My website, IsleDiscount.com, is hosted on a virtual server with pair.com. Pair.com offers only one SFTP account on regular shared server and to set up mutltiple SFTP accounts, Pair.com moved me to a virtual server (VQS1), which I believe is not a shared server solution, but Pair representatives were able to create multiple SFTP accounts on this VQS server.
However, when I asked the representative to restrict access of this additional SFTP accounts to a sub-folder, I got the following warning email:
-------
Please confirm you understand this will make your entire web directory world-writeable. This will increase the chances of a security attack. If you do understand this, you can go ahead and execute the command yourself.
The command below will accomplish both commands in one.
> chmod -R 707 /usr/www/users/Shawn.Dohmen/
Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
pair Networks, Inc.
-----------------
Can someone throw some light on this? I don't think it's any good idea to make the directory word-writable!
Thank you,
I forgot to mention that the files that are stored on this site are my website's files. From time to time, we may safekeep other important files on these folders becuase Pair.com has a great back and recovery solution with their hosting packages.
