Hi,
I've Googled half the day for a soultion to this, no joy.
I'm CC'ing the author in case no one in the list knows the answer.

I don't want the user 'virtual' to be able to delete the files they
upload.
When 'virtual' uploads a file, it winds up belonging to: virtual wheel,
and he can delete the file.  He cannot delete files in any other
directory.
Virtual is *not* a member of the wheel group.

How can I configure things so that 'virtual' can upload files, see them,
but not delete them?

Details:

I'm using vsftpd-1.2.0 on FBSD 4.8-RELEASE-p10.
I've created a symlink in /var called 'ftp' that points to /usr/ftp for
disk space reasons.

The directory structure in /usr/ftp is as follows:

[charles@curly ~]$ ls -l /usr/ftp
total 12
drwxr-xr-x    8 root     wheel         512 Sep 23 06:16 Applications
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     wheel        2048 Sep 23 06:18 Bash Scripts
drwxr-xr-x    2 root     wheel        1024 Sep 23 06:18 Tech Docs
drwxrwxrwx    2 root     wheel         512 Oct  2 13:15 Uploads
drwxr-xr-x    4 root     wheel         512 Sep 23 06:19 Utilities
drwxr-xr-x   11 root     wheel         512 Sep 23 06:21 eBooks

[charles@curly ~]$ cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep vsftpd
ftp     stream  tcp     nowait  root    /usr/local/libexec/vsftpd
vsftpd

The only login I allow outsiders is: user: virtual.

[charles@curly ~]$ cat /etc/passwd | grep virtual
virtual:*:1000:1000:Virtual User:/var/ftp:/usr/local/bin/bash

My vsftpd.conf:

[charles@curly ~]$ cat /usr/local/etc/vsftpd.conf
