Can someone tell me what is the easiest way to allow ftp users to upload but not delete? If possible I would like to choose which users can delete. I think [user_config_dir] or [cmds_allowed] may get the job done. Does the cmds_allowed apply for everyone on the server? Do I have to make the user_config_dir file? If so is there a model or a list of suggested commands I can get?
While I was researching the above questions I noticed that you can run vsftpd as stand alone or off of another program like initd or xinetd. The man pages say that it runs as stand alone by default. Can I assume this is correct because I use the vsftpd.conf file to configure and not inetd.conf or xinetd.conf? When I make changes they take affect when I restart /etc/init.d/vsftpd. What function does /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd have with vsftpd? Any info will be appreciated. Thanks. -Cody
