asked on

a new account to be created on red hat 9 that would enable me to browse all folders on the server via FTP.

Hello, I have a Red Hat 9 server which is a web server for several different customers.
I can FTP into this server with an account somebody set me up with and I can browse through many of the folders on the server but not all of them.
I'd like to create a new account (not root, something else.) and give this user read & write access to ALL of the folders on the server through FTP. I should not change any folder ownerships though otherwise other people's access may be limited. how would I do this?

it tells you (and the system:) that the password is stored in /etc/shadow
