I need to set up an easy way to allow students to upload their web pages to the school web server using individual folders and logins. I would rather not use SSH or SFTP for this as our school network makes doing such transfers nearly impossible. What would you suggest for a simple, easy to maintain, FTP server program that would allow me to let students upload but lock them out of doing anything else.

Thanks,

Since nobody has replied, I thought I would give my idea, even though it's coming from a Windows perspective. Maybe Linux doesn't run this way?

What I would do is just get the regular FTP service started on your Linux box. Allow incoming connections on port 21 (FTP).
Create a user account for each student that is going to upload/download files. Put them in a general FTP group that you create which is restricted to ONLY the FTP directory.
Disable anonymous logins. Each student must log in to the FTP server.
Allow specific read/write permissions for their individual folders for each user. This will prevent them from going into other student's folders and messing them up.

Hope this is the right track? This is what I did with my Windows FTP server at my work.

This is better than no response. lol

You should also try posting this in the Networking forum/software forum since this is a general Linux question.

Good luck!
