Hello

google didn't help :( - I still don't have any idea how tu set up different ftp accounts or solve this problem different way - so please help...

directories structure:
- ...
- public_ftp (inside: user1, user2, ..., special_user_A, special_user_B)
_ public_html (inside:..., download)

I would like to set up FTP (!) accounts:
for user1 and user2:
READ and WRITE for their own directories: 'public_ftp/user1', 'public_ftp/user2'
only READ for 'public_html/download'

for special_user_A, special_user_B:
READ and WRITE for their own directories: 'public_ftp/special_user_A',
'public_ftp/special_user_B'
only READ for the rest of public_ftp directory including subdirectories (user1 ...)
READ and WRITE for 'public_html/download'

I don't have shell access to server. How can I set up right accounts using only Direct Admin, .htaccess, symbolic url (?) etc.

Your hosting provider would have to set it up for you. It requires access to the proftpd config.
 
@diron:

I believe what you want to do can be done directly within your DirectAdmin control panel; instructions here. But only if your hosting company has given you the ability to create ftp accounts. So you may need to check with your hosting provider.
