Other than password protecting files this is kinda what I need to do. 1-user (possibly more later. User=someone who works here) -each user with their own home dir (I have done this already) -set permissions on /home/dir for the user accounts -set permissions on users or put them into a group with certain permissions? Not sure how this would be done? anonymous accounts(anonymous/ftp) -anonymous account will get used by our 11,000 customers (companies) -some how need to find a easy but secure way to allow acces to files only to the companies the files pertain to and without creating 11,000 accounts. -All anonymously uploaded files get put into /home/anon/upload i have it set up this way, just not tested yet. -All files for anonymous users to download get put into /home/anon by the user account(s) I think thats it any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Also if you need to see my .conf I only have network access to it so I will need a way to get it to my laptop to copy on here. Thank you all again for any help
