vsftpd

[tron2010]

I need to give my web admin ftp rights to the /var/html/www directory in FC4. The user uses a gui ftp program ws_ftp pro on an XP box. I have setup a user named webadmin which I'd like to use for FTP connections. What needs to be done to allow the webadmin account FTP access? Once webadmin can connect to the server, how to set up access to /var/html/www for file upload and downloads?

thx

Allow the webadmin write access to /var/www/html, perhaps by chowning it to apache:apache and making the webadmin user a part of the apache group.

Edit vsftpd.conf and allow uploading. Set webadmin's home to /var/www/html to put them there on login.

Note that ftp is insecure, scp is better that it doesn't send passwords in cleartext.
