vsftpd read access for user accounts but needs write access
Confusing thread title I know. I'm having a brain fart here.
I have an ftp server(vsftpd CentOS 5.2) that has an account that I need to share files with others. But I only want the people to have read access to the files yet need the account owner to have write access. How can I have a user account own the files yet have the end users read only?
I've tried making 2 users:
user 1: accountowner(read/write/etc)
user 2: readonly(read/download only)
I made accountowner and readonly users. Made them both have the same home directories. Made the owner accountowner with 750 permissions. Then made the readonly a member of accountowner's group. When I try to FTP I get "FAIL LOGIN:"
What am I missing here? Or is there a better way to do this?
thanks!
