restrict FTP access to users with htaccess

user1 should only have FTP acces to folder: /user1

Hi,

I need to add FTP users, in order for them to upload files (bigger than 2M) and then link them on my forum. My host doesn't allow me to edit php.ini so it has to be done through FTP.

The problem is that users get a complete FTP access to var/www/html/*.*

I want to use htaccess files to restrict access to one folder for each user. Ex: user1 would be able to manage files only in var/www/html/user1/*.*

If user1 one tries to access var/www/html/user2/ from his FTP program, he'd get an access denied error.

They have to be able to upload, delete, and link the uploaded files on the web.

I tried a few things with <limit> and a few others from mod_access, but nothing seems to work.

Any idea? I'm not very good with Apache modules.

Thanks,
Christian

Christian,

I'm afraid this won't work. .htaccess--as its name implies--is intended for HTTP access control only.

You might want to try a search for "FTP access control" and similar phrases to find solutions for your problem.
