I'm trying to set up an FTP server using PureFTPd Manager and I'd like to grant a user read-only access to a folder. However, it seems that the user is always granted full access to the folder that is set as their home directory, which isn't what I want.

Is there a way to set up a PureFTPd user so that they may not have write access to any files or folders (so that they can't upload or delete) but can freely navigate within their home directory and folders/files within it?

I'd also like to have a separate account that has write access to a folder but that can't list the files that folder contains, nor can they delete anything from it (i.e. a drop-box type folder).

How to set that up?

I am also trying to do this as well. Does anyone know how to do this with out granting full access?

seems to me the documentation says that you should go an read the man pages for figuring this stuff out.

if you want an anonymous only ftp server, with an anonymous drop box that doesnt let users see what they put in it or let them download what they put in it:

in the "Extra arguments" section of the "Options" preference i use the following flags: -4 -e -b
-4 is for specifying an ipv4 only server (optional)
-e is for anonymous only server
-b is for broken clients mode - this helps with internet exploder for windows and other "broken" clients (optional)

in the "Anonymous" section i use the following options:
"Anonymous users can create directories" (what if you want to upload a directory full of stuff?)
"Anonymous can't download files uploaded by anonymous" (to prevent someone using your ftp site for nefarious purposes)

after that.. you are going to have to mess with the firewall. thats a bit more tricky, as the passv ports and os10 dont like to play together very well without some tweaking..
