vfs problems

[Strom]

hello, i have spme troubles to setup the vfs correctly

i want a private dir for each user that only can be seen by the user itself (and master)

and i also want a pub dir which has no restrictions, only für user pub, not viewable by others
maybe easier to setup another ftp?

hope you can help me

You may also only use one vfs file for all those users and define specific permissions for thoses dirs.

You can selectively hide directories.

thx harm

so do i have to make an extra vfs for each user? is there a script that can do it on userlogin?

[Harm]

You only need one global vfs file.
Then you can use SITE CHATTR +h <dir> -<user> to make a dir private. In this case, it means that the dir <dir> will only be seen by the user <user> and he will be the only one to be able to browse it.

but i have to do it for every user right?

these thousands of users :P

edit:

i still dont get it :x

i logged in as admin did SITE CHATTR +h "private" "-testuser1"

testuser1 can see the dir but cannot upload

but when i upload sth as admin tesuser1 can see the file in his private dir

dunno, @ raidenftpd each 'private' dir was linked to a usernamedir

i miss sth but dont know what, should be the same way like for predirs

The dir's permissions are wrong.

You can also create all the dirs with the users' names in some kind of /home directory. Then (if you're using FlashFXP) select all the dirs, enter

SITE CHATTR +h %f "-%f"

in the raw command line, press the "return" key and wait for the client to chattr all the dirs.
