Request: User defined directories for FTP accounts

[Ryan]

I'd like to see a way for the user to create an ftp account in the directory they request.

As of right now, DA only offers 3 options for ftp accounts. However, it'd be very nice to allow a user to specify:

login:
password:
server path:

I'd like to be able to create [email protected] and allow that to have access to something like /home/example/domains/example.com/public_html/forums/special/directory/
without giving them full access to public_html as would be required under the current scheme.

Any thoughts?

I have a feeling this doesn't make much sense the way i've explained. Please let me know if I need to clarify.

This would be a usefull option indeed (for me)!

login:
password:
server path:

Well certainly a bit more limited than server path; I sure wouldn't want my clients to be able to download my /etc/passwd file, grep it for /bin/bash, and know who has login privileges so they could try some common password attacks.

Nor would I want them to be able to set up /home, and peruse all the sites on the system looking for credit card numbers, or .htpasswd files.

Obviously...

I'm just saying a defineable path below the /home/username/ level. Lock them to below /home/username/*

Server Path /home/username/: ___________

Hello,

User defined directories shouldn't be too hard (including strict form checking ). I'll add it to the versions system, but it may not make it into this release. It might be the next one after 1.21.3.
