password protection

password protected folder with FTP access

[uslegacies]

I am looking for an easy way to set up subfolders that our volunteers can use as a mini website of their own. They will need to have ftp access to their own folder, but I do not want them to have ftp access to the rest of the site. Does anyone have any ideas that would help us set this up. Someone suggested that we may be able to do it with php.

Thanks

When you set up the FTP account, only grant them access to the one folder. Don't allow up and down browing.

Your FTP server software can do this.

Hi,

Thanks for the idea on using my ftp, but I checked that out and since the other users will be accessing the site from their own home computers, I think this needs to be set up from the server side, instead of the user side and I don't know of any ftp program that will be able to do anything beyond a chmode setting. And since they will be using their own ftp programs, that part won't help.

Yes, I was suggesting server side settings.

I use BulletProof FTP server for my websites, and when I add a user I can specify which folder they have access to, and the privileges on that folder.

They can create and browse subdirectories, or they can't.It's really quite simple.

Thanks for the tip on Bulletproof, I will check them out.
