http://serverfault.com – I'm working with some third-party developers and I would like to grant SFTP (or FTP) access to the root folder for a website they're working on i.e. '/var/www/html/website_abc' so that they could upload the files there. Note that I'm hosting my other websites there on the same EC2 instance e.g. '/var/www/html/website_xyz'. Just to emphasize that I'm working with multiple websites on 1 single EC2 instance, the structure of the websites are as follows: /var/www/html/ /var/www/html/website_abc ... /var/www/html/website_xyz My goals are as follows: User 'adeveloper' has access t (HowTos)

Hello everyone. I'm new here so I'd like to introduce myself :) I am not a professional webmaster, but I like to create my own websites so I can have control over my system (please don't laugh). As I don't have much income, the only way to have websites is being a DIY. I have about 10 websites, most of them free hostings built with WYSIWYG and html.

I'm setting up the SFTP with different users. I simply need to strict "some" users to be given strict Folder Access.

For example:

General users to access whole Main Directory normally: /var/www/html/workarea/* User X to be able to access only: /var/www/html/workarea/room-x/* So the User X should not be able to access other directories aside.

How to configure it please?

I'm running an Apache 2 server from my raspberry pi, and everything works fine. I wanted to configure ".htaccess", so I had to move some files around. So in "/var/www", I created a file called "html" and moved all my pictures, and webpages into it. However, I left "index.html" out inside of "/var/www." All of this works fine, except for one thing.

I have a structure like this on a shared host:
