The reason I mentioned webdav(s) earlier was because you can have granular control of what each user can access. You need specify only what directory/file you want them to be able to access and they shouldn't have access to anything else. Also, you don't need to give them shell access - which I find (psychologically) more reassuring. ;-) -- Regards, Mick
