Limiting specific functionality on shared folders

By Sam Jobs - Jul. 22, 2008

I have a folder on server and I gave my friends to download or upload to this folder, but I don't want anyone delete or change the path of this folder. So they can read, write, execute the files inside this folder, but not delete the folder.

    What OS, Stevo? On Windows, you can right-click and set the permissions. If they have write permissions, they can delete everything they have write access for.


    On *nix, including the Mac, you can use chmod to set the permissions. If you a GUI lover, go to the accounts pref pane in the mac and hook this up.

    The FTP daemon should take care of this for you. If you're using vsftpd (should be the standard on most linux distros now) you should already be set. For the linux security side, your permissions should probably also set the "sticky" bit, which I believe is the option "t" using chmod
