proftpd: One user to administrate all
Hi all
I have configured proftpd using virtual users; various users have permission over directories etc.
Now I have to create a user (ftpadmin) that will have access to all folders and will be able to delete, move and/or rename files and directories.
Although ftpadmin has access and enough permissions from proftpd.conf it ISNT allowed to delete files that were created by an other user!!! (as the filesystem permissions are not sufficient)
Is any way to overcome this?! Do I have to use a umask different from 022 / 022 ?
Thank you

So its enough to use umask 002 and add ftpdadmin to allusers group.
On the other hand I have to accept the fact that user1 and user2 will be able to change each other files (as have access to same directories and I cant use LIMIT)

I dont want because I am searching a way to implement that functionality easier than using LIMIT.
(to tell the true I have no idea how can I do that using LIMIT|)!!
Any ideas ? ;-)
Both users must have access to write,upload/download, resume etc files but do not delete or alter files that dont own!

Well, I already wrote it. Umask 002, different users, same group (ftpadm in my previous post). Owner of the file can do anything with this file, while other users cannot.

At the moment my files are created with user virtual ID and groupID: 1500.1500.
By using umask 002, also user1 and use2 can delete each other files. Correct?
Are u using "UserOwner" to change all users to proftpd.nogroup ?
May you give me an example of file configuration with permission set?
An other idea i had is to add ftpadmin to all groups. But:
Can a user belong to two groups?! Which group will be macthed when doing checks for permissions?!
Thank you
