One thing I neglected to mention is that we have setup a web application
on a separate web server that makes the calls to the FTP server. This
allows our customers and stores to not be FTP savvy. Essentially we are
just looking for an FTP server replacement that allows the permissions
sets that we currently have. This essentially leaves us with a UNIX
based system but we want to keep that administration in house if
possible.

Subject: Xserve, FTP Server solution.
My company is looking at a replacement for our current ftp server
running on redhat.
We are considering an Xserve with an attached Xraid. We have some
specific permissions needs and I would like some feed back on A. Is this
scenario possible. And B. Has anyone out there done something like this
and would they be willing to discuss configuration issues and
recommendations, i.e. what ftp server software should I utilize? The
built in FTP server service, or something like cuteftp? How difficult
is it to setup the permissions on such a large number of folders for
about 1000 to 1200 users? Being an admitted UNIX neophyte any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the configuration that we need to be able to set up:
We have to create 1000 root level ftp folders that authenticated and
anonymous users can view list and read.
Inside of each of those folders I need to create 3 folders (inbox,
outbox and web) For the three folders there are two authenticated users
and they need to have full control of the contents of those folders.
Anonymous users need the following access:
Inbox: no read, no list, write.
Outbox: read, list, no write.
Web: read, list, no write.
If anyone out there has set up a similar setup I would really appreciate
any feedback that you can give me. I have setup a streaming server on a
dual Xserve G5, and have a good amount of Mac knowledge but the UNIX
underpinnings I am admittedly weak on. We have a 3rd party company
admining our current box but would like to bring it in house if possible
and the Mac solution seems the most likely method to be able to do that.
Thank you,
