Re: PHP AS an FTP server

Yeah, I don't want local user access (SSH, their own entries in passwd, etc..). Too much work to ensure they all have the correct file permissions, etc.. I think I'll just skip the PHP bit and use a proper FTP server. I've configured them a few times, but all the examples I found only had Anonymous FTP login, or MySQL (which is what I want), but the server wouldn't work with the MySQL plugin. Looks like I'll have to compile from source... joy. Thanks for all the replies though. Michael Kubler *G*rey *P*hoenix *P*roductions <http://www.greyphoenix.biz> Thodoris wrote:

The local users part was about ssh-sftp access Ash not ftp. IMO when you add local users you add extra risks to your system than simple ftp (non-local) users may not cause. Of course if you secure your system carefully everything will work fine but I would avoid that and there are many security issues that here is not the place to discuss. Of course if this fits your needs I have no objections. -- Thodoris
