glftpd directory settings

Hi, I'm running Debian as a server with 2 ftpd's.
I use proftpd for me and my roommate, but for others i wanted to use something else. glftpd was the one i figured was the best. I've installed it and it workes pretty fine except I can't seem to figure out how to give people upload rights for only one directory.

My server contains 3 disks. 2 of the disks are mounted to /jail/glftpd/site/music and /jail/glftpd/site/films. in addition to the music and films dirs I have a upload dir. I won't let people upload to any other dir than upload. When I change the settings in the conf file I only manages to give people right to upload to any of the dirs or none of the dirs. my 2 mounted disks are both FAT32 and therefore chmod won't work.

My second problem is that I have a home directory on my main disk which I also want to access when entering glftpd. I don't know how to get access to this. symlinks didn't work in glftpd and the only dir I can seem to enter is /jail/glftpd/site/*

If anyone have any ideas about what to do I would greatly appreciate it. Please tell me if there is something you don't understand here. I'm not shure what I have written cause I'm tired as hell right now. This post might not even make any sense. If it doesn't, please make the administrators delete it

First chmod 777 /jail/glftpd/site/uploads, then check your config:

Code:

upload             /site/uploads/*               *
resume             /site/uploads/*               *
makedir            /site/uploads/*               *

With this config everyone should be able to create dirs, upload and resume uploads in /jail/glftpd/site/uploads. You can't enter your home directory for a good reason - you're in a jailed environment. You can't do anything outside the /jail directory.

OK, now I installed glftpd again, but I still can't find a way to get access to /home/harald for the users
