Hi

I'm wondering if its possible to have multiple users (not unix users, but virtual users), with different passwords who when they login will get read/write to the same default home directory?

Does that make sense :)?

I'm using proftpd - but if it isn't possible with proftpd I would be happy to switch to an ftpd that this is possible with.

Kind Regards,

You could always chroot them all to the same directory, make the directory g+rw , and then add them all to the same group.

I have just figured this out the other day with proftpd. You have to use AuthUserFile. Basically you download a script that allows you to add the users with their passwords and home dir. It uses the same format as passwd. I am not at home right now, I can get you the link tomarrow to some pages to the script and documentation. Email if you have any questions.

itzangler, please post the link on how to do it. A client of mine is looking for this issue too. Thanks

Here is the link on how to do it. There is a link from that page to the tool to download to add the users. If you have any questions, email me.
