user permissions

[cippraN]

Hi!
I've tried to read the manual but I'm not sure how this works.

For exampel: I want to add a user to my server but I only want him to be able to download and upload files and be able to view the file list of course.
How do I give him these permissions?
Lets say the username will be: sixtie and password: test

thanx!

hmm, flag '3' is normal user flag

so something like:

site change sixtie flags 3


i think syntax is correct, altho '3' should be default flag of new added users (see 'default.user' file in /etc or /users)

site adduser sixtie test *@ip
site uinfo sixtie

now look at what flags he has
if he doesn't have flag '3' give him it:
site change sixtie flags +3


OR you can do things according to group settings, but all this assumes you've already configured your ioFTPD.ini already

See this section:

# Detailed permissions for directories
#
# priviledge    = <virtual path> <rights>
#
#Upload          = /upload/* *
#Upload		= * !*
Upload		= * *
Resume		= * *
Download	= * !l *
MakeDir		= /*/* *
MakeDir		= /* =SiTEOPS !*
RemoveOwnDir    = * *
RemoveDir       = * 1VM
Rename		= * 1VM
RenameOwn       = * *
Overwrite       = * 1VM
Delete		= * 1VM
DeleteOwn	= * *
NoStats         = * =lSpeed !*

in the above example, everyone can upload in everywhere, download everywhere unless they have flag "l", they can make directories everywhere but the root directory, except SiTEOPS, they CAN make directories in the root. everyone can remove their own directory, ... ONLY users with flags 1, V or M can delete other peoples files (1 = SiTEOPS, V = VFS ADMIN, M = MASTER)

flags are all relative to what you want them to be (except M, M always is master, and some of the f and F flags are reserved to disable/enabled FXP)

hopefully that gives you an idea of how the ftpd works.
if it doesn't make sense, look at it again.. and again...and again.. .it will

That is what i thought also.
But now i have made up a test account, flag he has is 3 and almost ioFTPD.ini is default, didn't changed any permissions etc.
Why isn't he beable to create and upload stuff?
Could it be because of the directories are created by a Admin and according the rules he isn't allowed to create any thing or upload in there?

atm i can't get a clear link between the flags and permissions
