http://forums.cpanel.net – Hi, I am in the process of setting up my new dedicated server with whm/cpanel. I have a slightly odd set up in that I don't require the server to be used for http access. I am setting domains up to be used as an ftp data storage by our employees only. My question is can I prevent any folders from being created in the users root directory upon account creation and simply allow him/her to upload/download data from the root? I can see that I can edit/add/remove what is included in the public_html and public_ftp folders via the skel folder. However, my issue is that I wish to remove the (HowTos)

I have a Red Hat 5.8 server that is bound to active directory and users are authenticated via active directory when they log in via sftp. User home folders are created during login using /etc/pam.d/system-auth.

I am setting up Lion server so users on an Active Directory network can access webdav folders from iPads.

I have got this working fine when accessing a shared multi user folder.

I want users to also be able to access their own personal folders, with no one else being able to access the folder.

I can share the Users folder out to Active Directory groups but this will give each user access to oth

Configure FTP Directory Access 13 weeks 4 days ago

Hi,

I have recently configured my new WHM 'VPS optimised 3' and am trying to figure out how to specify which directory an accounts ftp connection defaults to.

Currently when an account user ftp's into their root they are automatically taken to the 'public_html' directory and are unable to go a level up to their home directory.

Hello,

I'm trying to eliminate the items that are being displayed in user's home folder. I would like the users to be able to "see" only the folders 'public_html' and 'public_ftp'.

Additionally can I rename these folders ('public_html' and 'public_ftp') ?

I think I have screwed up my permissions in Ubuntu.

I am using my server to run PHP. I recently ran across a problem where PHP could not create directories in the var/www-directory, so I searched around on the internet.

I own a VPS server. At the moment I havent installed any FTP server on it, I am using SSH and SFTP only. I am using Debian 6 Squeeze and Apache2 service. The web directory is in /var/www/

Well, I wanted to create different FTP accounts and give access to some people to them (one account per user).

I'm trying (without success) to get help with setting up User Home Folder\Directory permissions on server 2012. What I would like to know is what permission do I need so that each user can access his/her files etc but CANNOT view\access other users home folders.

I have already created folders on the server called "UserProfiles" and "UserData".

For normal users, some files in /etc/skel have no read permission and some folders have no execute permission, making it hard to copy the contents without becoming root. Since there's no critical data in this folder (is there?) it might make life slightly easier to fix this some day. Meanwhile we users can runsudo chmod -R a+rX /etc/skel :)

I'm on debian and I have my website in the directory /srv/www/mysite.com/public_html

I set chown for www-data:www-data on /srv/www.

I have root disabled and created a sudo user which is id 1000:1000. I would also like to use this user to upload to /srv/www so I added my sudo user to the www-data group.
