FTP directories acces control 7 weeks 13 hours ago

i want to mount a FTP server with vsftpd.

My requirements are:

-Six different folders where is stored all information according to what is it about.

-Seven users with access to some of the last six folders, each user has access to a different group of folders, some of them has access to all folders and others to only one.

I'm thinking about the best way of accomplish this.

I'm running samba on Ubuntu Server 10.04 LTS, I've some folders on samba share and created some user to access it, but suddenly some of the user are not able to access it for a certain time only.

There are 5 users as A,B,C,D,E and there are two folders in samba share name as "test" and "develop"

"test" doesn't have any user access password but "develop" has user access with password.
