[cobalt-users] newbie - ftp question

[Peter Goddard <pete@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm new to this list and am posting this question because after many
hours looking through stuff on the Sun site and google I still can't
get a clear answer, also re-sellers have not been able to help.

I'm about to buy a Qube. You'll probably find the question so basic.

I want to set up an ftp server to serve up mpeg files of commercials
we are editing for download by our clients. Each client would have to
have their own protected directory, with login and password. 
Only, say, Coca Colas files would be available to Coca Cola and only
Adidas to Adidas etc. Preferably only a particular clients files would
be visible to that client.

How easy is it to set up these directories and their permissions? Is
this something I can do through the Java interface or do I have to
edit the proftpd config file. I will be creating and deleting accounts
on a regular basis. Hopefully I can do it via the web interface but if
not I am prepared to edit the config files. I know a little Linux
stuff.

Thanks

pete
