How to create ftp users for managing web sub-folders.

[Cheong]

Dear Senior members,

I have a question about creating ftp users for managing web sub-folders.

I have a plesk installed and uploaded all web files to the [httpdocs] folder.

I would like to create subfolders under [httpdocs] and allow different ftp users to upload and modify the web sub-folders.

However, it is found that the created ftp users can only access the folder [web_users/(username)]. On the otherhand, domain adminstrator can neither access the web user's folder.

Would you have any suggestion so that we can allow ftp users for managing web sub-folders directly?

Thanks very much!

Cheong

I dont believe that you can. Although your more then welcome to go to swsoft.com and read the documentation to get you started.

You cannot do it through Plesk. But you can create vhost.conf file and create some rewrite rules from webusers folder to subfolders. This is excellent guide for creating vhost.conf under Plesk. It is not exactly the same situation but it can probably help.

I wouldnt say thats an excellent guide, more like poor to fair, but it definately gets you started.

htaccess for ftp users

My situation is that I've got a client who manages their own site and creates their own FTP users (ie, web_users). My client needs to be able to write to those directories. Is there a way to setup an .htaccess file in the web_users directory--the top-level directory for all her FTP users-- so that she can write to her FTP user directories? The closest thing I've seen is the "password file" but this seems to limit access to only those users. Is there a way to tell Linux, "obey the user/group permissions for the web_users directories, but also allow write permission for userA" ?
