Hi all,

I have following requirement ..

We have a ftp account in the server which is shared by different clients, the requirement is what ever files uploaded by any client, should not viewed by other clients. I given only write permission to this account.. but still not able to achieve the hiding of data..

is there any other way to achieve this?

i don't want to create different client accounts..

chroot each account. Are you using vsftpd? If so just search cyberciti.biz for vsftpd chroot.

Administrator too have a chroot facility.. but problem is that we have to share with the same client account details (this is the requirement by one project) with different clients..

here clients will be varying all the time.. so they don't want to create individual client accounts and applying ch-rooting to that particular folder..

any inputs.. i here that its possible.. to hide/deny listing of folders in server..
