I know how to open users but not how to give that user > access to ftp to his directory. I do this for all the the web accounts. I make their home directory the top directory of their domain. /usr/local/www/data/ and then I put their login name in /etc/ftpchroot. This way when they ftp they are their own tree and can go nowhere else. With 1 or 2 exceptions there are no shell accounts on the server, and the only thing the domain users can do is to ftp in/out of their domain. Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com
