Proftpd users permission

[guidorossi]

Hi!

I'm running a LAMP server in Ubuntu 8.04 with Apache2 PHP, MySQL and Proftpd

I'm managing the proftpd users in MySQL for an easyest adds and removes.
The problem is that the users I add in MySQL to have access to the FTP server can not upload files to a directory without 777 permission, and the users can not change the chmod to 777 via FTP, so I've got to change permissions via SSH.

How can I give permission to do that via FTP to the users I add via MySQL?

Thanks

You don't want to set your permissions to 777. You want to create a group that these users fall into and give that directory and its sub-directories group permissions that your users reside in. 777 will be a security nightmare.
