    Hi,
    First sorry for my ask in comments (have not see the note about that).
    I follow the HowTO:
    http://www.howtoforge.com/proftpd_mysql_virtual_hosting_p3
    And all works fine (is a realy good HowTo)!

    My problem is.
    I cant find the way how to use a different user and group for a ftp user.
    Example:
    FTP User: daisy
    Home: /home/daisy as
    User: daisy and
    Group: users

    FTP User: gambit
    Home: /home/gambit as
    User: www and
    Group: www

    thx.

    Are you referring to the ftpuser table? uid and gid must always have the same values!

    I setup in ftpgroup:
    groupname gid members
    ftpgroup 2001 ftpuser
    www 33 www

    Then in ftpuser:
    userid uid gid
    daisy 2001 2001
    gambit 33 33

    i log in as gambit an create a directory "dada"
    and then i look on it :
    ftp> ls -l
    200 PORT command successful
    150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list
    drwxr-xr-x 2 gambit (?) 4096 Mar 18 19:10 dada
    226 Transfer complete.

    If i view it on the server i get:
    root@philoctetes:~# ls -l /home/gambit/
    drwxr-xr-x 2 65533 65533 4096 2006-03-18 20:10 dada

    The group www real exist.
    Please what do i wrong?

    I meant that you must put the correct values into the ftpuser MySQL table.

    Then in ftpuser:
    userid uid gid
    daisy 2001 2001
    gambit 33 33

    the group with the id 33 is set by the system (distribution) real name is
    www-data (for files under htdocs).

    thx.
