Folder Permissions in Linux
I'm setting up an sftp and want one folder where people can add and remove files.
I want the group "sftp" to have read and write access to /home/sftp (this is not a home folder, just located there).
How can I do this so that any new files as well (uploaded by either user) can be rw to both users?

If your users are members of the group 'sftp' and it's the 'sftp' group that is putting the files in that folder then setting the group for that folder to 'sftp' like so (in a terminal):
chgrp -R sftp /home/sftp
Then give the group read and write access like so:
chmod g+r /home/sftp
chmod g+w /home/sftp
I hope that helps.
