building an FTP application
Posted: Fri Oct 04, 2002 4:18 pm
hi,
I have another question about the above topic that i need some advice on
I am building an FTP application that will have different user level and user access.
for example if i have user A and user B and i have directory 1 with folders A and B
A can see folder A and files in directory 1 but can only download and view
whilst B can see directory 1 and Folder A and B but can only delete files located in B
Now the question here is what is my best approach.
Should i (because of the complexity of level of security create an additional FTP account for each user)
or create one additional account and use PHP to determine the level of access and permissions
it probably also depends on my server feature (UNIX) which i am looking into but to get 2nd opinions on what is generally done in the aspects of security levels and permissions
