The permissions for the upload folder are drwx-wx--- and the owner is Bob group is ftpuploadgroup Alice is member of that group, but should only drop files in. The files are ownd by Alice, and I'm bit iritated, taht Bob can rename tham ... as Bob only has read permision (from the group) The files in a subfolder have the same permissions and Bob cant change tham...
