Creating a public ftp folder.

6-23-03, 06:56 PM

I set up a separate user called "artdepartment" whose root folder is where I want people to be able to upload ftp files. However, I do not want people to be able to read or delete the files in the folder. How do I set this up?

Well, you can't do it the traditional way, with an anonymous FTP area, as PowWeb doesn't support that. Various people have posted file upload scripts - you could use one of those. I don't have a pointer handy... Just be aware that if ANYONE can upload files, you have a potential for abuse. Make sure that the upload goes to the designated area only.

Yeah, I figured PowWeb would have to have that feature. I have a php upload script so that should be okay. Thanks for your help.

Also, do you know if there is a limit to the amount of email that can be stored online?
