Ftp Site

[gacain]

Greetings,

 

I have several users who would like to be able to transfer files to/from their consultants via FTP. I've tried setting up an FTP site here, but my connections seem to be problematic - sometimes I can log on, sometimes not. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, or if this is just sort of an unstable process.

 

If I go to cpanel and set up "files" as an ftp site, using the sub-domain "files.domain.com", and I then point my browser to "ftp://files.domain.com", I get directed to some other place at the site. If I then right-click on the window (in IE, as that is likely to be what most of the people using this site will use), I can log in as "files@domain.com" with the password I've set when I set up the FTP account. But if I do that, then anyone logging on to the site seems to have complete read/write access. I'd like to set it up so that different users can log on to the same area of the site, but with different permissions.

 

Can anyone give me a good step-by-step as to the best way to set this up? Any help would be very much appreciated. I'll buy you a cyber-beer.

 

Thanks much in advance.
