Resolved Read-only permissions to FTP user

[rcerrote]

Hello, how can I give read only permissions to a specific folder for a user in plesk linux? In plesk windows there is a specific option to do it.

Please help to solve this

You can do it with File Manager in Plesk.

Thanks for the reply.

how can I do it? In the file manager I see the general permissions of the folder, I cannot choose the permissions for a specific user. I need some users to be able to write to the folder and others not.

Unfortunately, your desire violates the safety concept of Plesk. You can, of course, at your own risk, do this at the Linux system level, but in the Plesk interface, this cannot be done due to security and stability reasons for the users' sites.

Hi,

Finally I have solved it by creating a .ftpaccess file in the directory:

HideFiles (\.ftpaccess)$ user !userowner
<Limit ALL>
IgnoreHidden on
</Limit>

<Directory /var/www/vhosts/domain/folder>
<Limit CWD PWD DIRS READ>
AllowUser user1
</Limit>
<Limit ALL>
DenyUser user1
</Limit>
</Directory>

The first few lines hide the .ftpaccess file for all users except the owner. The rest of the lines give read-only permissions to the user "user1" in that specific directory.

The solution looks simpler than I thought from the beginning, I was already rotating some codes in my head of how I could fix this problem.
