I was trying to setup an FTP server last night on my 5.3 box. I was using the handbook and was instructed to make a new user ftp. So that worked fine and I was able to upload to ftp's home dirrectory but wanted to know if I can safley delete the .* files in his home dirrectory. I was also curious, if I change the permissions on /home/ftp to 755 then people will be able to read but not write to the dirrectory (do they need x permission to download a file?). But how do I make it so everyone can read but only certain users can write. My goal would to not use local accounts but pull usernames and passwords from a MySQL database. I would rather not transfer the username and password in clear text. Any thoughts or how toos I can follow? Thank you, Joshua Lewis
