Depends. If they are uploading via a web interface, then you need your web server to be able to write to the file system not the user. In this case it would be up to your web interface to work out if they have access to different files or not. One of the other ways is letting them FTP into the box the files the need. In this case, simply FTP chrooting them to their home directory (see /etc/ftpchroot ) and then having this directory accessible read only by your web server would be fine. In which case the permissions would be user_name:www Make sense? Mikel
