I have tried to configure an ftp server on one of my machines, I want to all authenticated users to be able to upload files to the apache web root /var/www/html. This machine is behind a firewall/router and will not be exposed to the outside world. I want to know if someone can point me to a good tutorial on setting up one of these servers, I have read the man pages and googled for possible configurations and I still have not been successfull. I can log in as my normal user and see my home folder, but cannot upload to the web root.
If that is all your users will have to do on the server, I recommend using proftpd with virtual users.
Each uses will have its own password (and you can get logs for them), but all files will end up with the uid:gid you want. The same for everyone, actually.
This is also a good way to make sure the users will not be able to use their passwords to do anything else on the server.
