Subject:	SCOUG-Help: syslogd ftpd trusers

Content Type: text/plain

I'm setting up an ftp server on my office machine so that outside
users can upload complete web sites (html, images, mp3's).

I have ftpd running, and tested via 127.0.0.1. I'm not using inetd.

Some questions:

-- 1. I want syslogd logging but don't see it in TCP/IP Configuration.
Should I just add it manually to my startup? (I have
"loginfo: logall" in trusers.)

-- 2. How do I allow users to create subdirectories, i.e. how do I authorize
the MKDIR command? For example, if user DuckSite is uploading web
pages and wants to put all images into a new IMG subdirectory, how
do I allow them to create the IMG subdirectory?

----- a. My testing shows FTPD does not allow MKDIR and I don't see a
trusers param to allow it. My syslog.msg file shows the
following for a MKDIR attempt:

2005/10/16 23.05: FTPD:1890: Unauthorized attempt to create directory h:\webspace\musfc\IMG

----- b. The users are going to be using web authoring tools (such as
VCOM's Web Easy or maybe even Composer) and I won't know what
subdirectories their various tools are going to need so I can't
create them ahead of time. Well, I suppose I could sort of
guess which ones they'll need, or look at the syslog.msg file
to see what failed and quickly create the directories for them.

-- 3. Here is my current trusers file in case there's something wrong or missing:

user: ***** *************
rd:
wr: H:\WebSpace\MusFC
loginfo: logall

user: ******** ********
rd:
wr: H:\WebSpace\TempTest
loginfo: logall

Thanks much for any help.
