Hi...
I need some advice on how to manage my web
server....
I work for a school and would like to setup web
pages for students....
I have apache installed and proftpd
How would I manage the server so that
students could have write access
to their web folder... for example
jimmy would have this folder as his home
page:
/var/www/students/jimmy
/var/www/students/jimmy/homepage.html would be
his first page
Anyway.... if his normal home directory is
here:
/home/jimmy
How do I give him access to write to his web
directory via ftp or some remote way?
If jimmy was on the lan......then I could easily setup a samba share to
students...
and he would have write access only to his folder
there....but what if he's outside the lan....
at home......and wants to update his
pages.....?
I was thinking I could change his regular home
directory (/home/jimmy to /var/www/students/jimmy) via /etc/passwd.... but is
that a good idea?
Thanks for your time
Mike
