Depends on how you want them to interact. If you don't care about the first user being able to edit things, just change the ownership from one to the other. If you want them both to be able to modify, delete, etc. files, you'll need to create a group for them, put them both in that group, then set the group ownership of the tree to that group (chgrp -R tree) and enable group permissions on it (chmod -R g=u tree). You'll also have to set things up so that the ftp server creates things with the group write bit set. How you do that will depend on your ftp server. Ideally, setting umask to 002 via login.conf will do the trick, but I haven't tried it. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
