How to assign group permissions for ftp users?

[Balaram]

Hi,

I need to assign permissions for ftp users. For that I need to create different groups with different permissions like upload, download, rename, delete, rename and delete. And the users added to the specific group need to have that group permissions by default. Is this possible ? Plzz any one help on this

Thanks,
Ram

Yes, sure you can set the permission creating various groups.
use this commands to do so. lets go for an one example for upload.
create group
# groupadd "groupname"
# mkdir "directoryname" (create directory in home directory for security purpose)
# chmod 770 /home/"directoryname"/ (set to upload files in the directory)
# chown root:"groupname" /home/"directoryname"/ ( to set group permission )
# useradd -g "groupname" -d /home/"directoryname" "username"

That's it. now you can enjoy your ftp login for upload the files from outside.

NOTE :- FTP is not recommended to add and delete files it is plain text service.
