One FTP Account; Multiple Users, Restrict Individual Access

http://forums.cpanel.net – Is there any way that we can use a FTP account (specifically) an anonymous one, for access to a specific directory that all our clients documents will be located in. The problem with this is that we need to keep all of our clients from gaining access to the documents of the others, while integrating the FTP access behind the scenes so to speak. So I was wondering, if we could set up our login page to give each client's login information a specific session ID, or something, and the session ID enables access to their folder - since their ID is not that of anyone else' they will not be able to (HowTos)

I wonder if there is a tool/modified ssh-server/ssh option which enables me to grant ssh access for a single session to a given user. What I want to avoid is creating a user account and password for the specific guest. It could instead use an existing user account with certain access rights to be set once. I do not want to share the same account information with everybody I grant access to.

We recently had SBS 2011 installed, an "upgrade" from our Server 2008. I'm stuck trying to figure out how I restrict a user account to have login access to only specific computers. The "old way" I would use Active Directory User and Computers and it was trivial and intuitive. However the new "SBS Console" way is defeating me.

Newbie question. Not sure if this is possible at all:

I have an FTP server, which clients use to drop off documents. Each client has their own sub-account and can only access his own folders.

Question: Is there a way to not allow accessing these files through a browser? If I just enter the URL url/client-folder/filename.whatever in my browser I can access all the file.

I am trying to access the facebook user's basic information using facebook session login. however I am not able to access their basic information. I am getting facebook error message An error occured.

I've read that PAM can be used to restrict HTTP access for some users, but I can't figure out how to do it in Ubuntu 12.04.

The `/etc/security/time.conf` man page contains this example:

All users except for root are denied access to console-login at all times:

Code: login ; tty* & !ttyp* ; !root ; !Al0000-2400

I have got a specific folder located in "/home/.../reboot/". I have a series of users that require read-only access to the ever changing files within.

I have a problem what I believe is a routing issue but I cannot solve it. Current setup on my company is like this

In current setup,

every client can access to internet using CLIENT => MAIN => MODEM every client can access to WEB using CLIENT => MAIN => MODEM => WEB WEB cannot access behind MAIN

now, for one specific case, our WEB server needs to access one of the clients, say CLIENT 1.

[ubuntu] vsftpd newbi 31 weeks 5 days ago

Hi, I'm having a couple questions that I can't seem to find answers for.

So far I've been able to finally get vsftpd working. I can login with my server IP address via ssh session to the box. (I'm currently remote and unable to access router to setup the port forwarding for external access) .

I DO WANT:

To be able to select a guest session from the user menu when logged in to my administrator account in case someone needs to use my computer.

I DO NOT WANT

Someone to be able to turn on my computer and login to a guest session

I have heard of a method where one edits /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to include allow-guest=false (then restarting lightdm)

The problem with that method is that
