Re: [CentOS] Proper way to give rights at the file system?

I have a certain directory under /usr that I want to make available through vsftp to a specific user. The easiest way to do this, I believe, is to create a symlink from the user's home directory to this directory. The catch is I want/need them to be able to delete/upload files as well. Root is the group and user owner of the files.

What is the "proper" way to give rights for this user?

Thanks, James

James,

It might be safer to put the files in the user's home directory and make a link from within /usr. If that can be tolerated.
