] It would be wise to create 2 accounts: 1 with _only_ upload access (no
] download, rename, delete or anything else) and 1 with only download

] This is very normal on most FTP sites, and a _lot_ safer.
And less flexible. For having a managed upload/download site we can keep
using the MSX section on ftp.funet.fi. And for (temporary) sharing files we
can use the new ftp server from Arnaud. I consider this a very nice
experiment. And I suppose that if it turns out not to work due to people
misbehaving, the site can always be closed down again. But lets hope the new
site can stay up forever.
Kind regards,
