Hi all;

I'm setting up an anonymous ftp server for a business application and I am =
having some difficulties getting the permissions to work out like I want.  =
freebsd-security seemed to be the best place, but if there is a better =
choice, someone email me and I'll change tack.

I have a system configured with a user account (johndoe for the sake of =
conversation) who is in the operator group.  The server accepts anonymous =
ftp connections to allow clients to upload files.  Issue number one is I =
would like that directory to be blind, ie: allow upload without allowing =
the anonymous users to browse the directory.  I'm not sure if that has to =
be done as a permission or a config file.

Secondly, once a file has been uploaded by an anonymous ftp users, I need =
johndoe to be able to move and delete those files.  For now, the default =
permission is 644 which doesn't allow the user to delete or rename the =
files.  They can be copied, but not deleted.  Again, this could be due to =
bad permissions or to config files.

I've ready through the ftpd man pages and haven't found anything that =
"feels" right.  Any and all help is greatly appreciated, and thank you in =
advance.

Sean;
