Basic FTP question

    I want to set up an ftp account that I can give to people to be able to log in and upload files to share. I know how to set it to a specific directory, but I'm wondering is it possible to set it so that they can upload and download the files, but not delete them.

    Is this possible?

    My server runs DirectAdmin.
    Thanks

    if they can upload to your FTP folder, I would imagine they can delete too.

    I seriously doubt that DirectAdmin has an option for setting the sticky bit on your directory... but if you have shell access to your account you could try the command: chmod 1766 mydir

    If the above doesn't work then you'll just have to make do as otherwise write permissions = delete permissions.

    If you have shell you could cron moving the files to a read only area every once in a while. It's not foolproof but would help.
