Create FTP user without @

[pieterpuk]

Hello,

Is it possible to create a ftp user without the @ for a specific home folder of a new ftp user?

I have a folderpath:
/home/*user*/domains/*domain*/public_html/products

I need a FTP user without the @ so we can make a windows sync with this folder over the web. The Proxy server cannot deal with the @.

Is this possible?

Thx in advance for your reply,
Peter

You would have to create a system level user with a the home directory of /home/*user*/domains/*domain*/public_html/products
and that user would have to own all the files in that home directory. The regular user from /home/*user*/domains would not be able to change those files.

Probably.

You probably need to play with group settings. Read up on any good book covering administration of your OS.

Or you may be able to create an alias within ProFTPd.
