Hi all:

I am trying to figure out a way to set up an FTP folder to share files with my clients and for them to upload files as well.

As we will be sharing work in progress, I need this FTP area to be password protected.

What's in my head is that I can have different folders for my different clients. After I invite them and send them a password, they will be able to access only their related folders, not the folders for my other clients.

Is this possible?

How do I build this?

Thanks for any help.

From an experienced Unix user point of view, you can assign group permissions to that directory via /usr/bin/chgrp. You can group x-client's users into one group, and y-client's users into another group.

However, I have just verified that we do not have permission to create new groups in our box. Something to think about.
