How to create an FTP account with limited access?
| Posted by Adam W, 05-27-2008, 02:22 PM |
| I want to create a special FTP account as such:
- The user would only be able to view and upload to one directory, such as mysite.com/images/
- The user would only be able to upload .jpg files, no code/php/html or anything, just jpg pictures.
- There would be a limit of upload. (ie. only 50 MB of upload per day)
- The user would only be able to delete the files that he uploaded. (or the user would only be able to view the files he uploaded)
Is that possible?

| You might also want to consider managing this from the application level.
Depending on the application software you want to use you might be able to manage permissions easier in that way.
For example, some open source blogs will allow registered users to upload media files and manage their own folders. As an administrator you decide what file types and sizes are valid, and the folder permissions.

| I would look into both ProFTPd and PureFTPd. Especially ProFTPd is highly customizable.
