I'm over 18 (really 36 :-). I would like to decide myself. I lost two weeks trying to figure why it doesn't work. > If you need to upload, and overwrite a file, you might try > setting up a restricted user for this purpose, that only > has write access to a single directory. Why? Assume I have a very restricted /incoming dir (111) and one or two levels or restricted dir under that (.../foo/bar/) also with mode=111, and assume that a file named write-me is placed in that dir owned by anonimous, mode +w. Nothing can imagine files and dir if is unable to list them, so only authorized users or automatic robots can read/write under that deep path. Are you following me? Assume also that I am in my home, with my local lan isolated from internet or at work (same as above because ftp is _only_ an internal service). Assume also that I need 2^n (a very large number) different users to write on my ftp a sort of report, all the times with the same name. I can't delete/put because dir is not writable. Do you think this is a 'too-crazy' request? > Mike Thanks for your time, Riccardo. To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
