regarding Slimftpd? Is there a way to make the passwords (and perhaps usernames) Case sensitive that would improve security thanks BTW Slimftpd has solved all of our publishing and remote access issues everyone with a site has been able to access their site either with a publisher NVU or front page or through an FTP Client.

I figured it out I just wasn't getting the scripts right I now have it set up the way I wanted I Think

Using HT access didn't work for creating multiple user accounts mod_dav did nothing so I moved on to slimftp installed and it works great but how do you once again create multiple users and limit them to there own websites? I need my idividual web authors to be able to update their own sites by remote without being a danger to other websites, I know you can create individual users with most FTP when I follow the instructions in slimftp.conf I can change the admin to whatever I want but when I add another user it quits working and yes I save the CONF file then stop and restart slimftp I've also tried restarting the server thanks

yes I figured that out but I don't think it did what I'm after, Ill try it again. I'll try to explain we have three sites (www) all need read access by everyone that types in the address on the web wrtie access has to be limited to the site admin Password protected I'm sure it's real simple but I haven't found the write place yet thanks

BTW that stuff didn't work the server stillwants me to sign in initialy then I can go wherever I want how do I open read access while limitin write access(publishing)

the conf file mentioned above doesn't seem to be able to open with windows I think I have figured this out you add an htaccess file to the site folder un comment allow all, then un comment the 4 auth lines to allow for password authentication for publishing so far that seems to be working I hope thanks

basically what we need is read access to everyone on the web and write(publish) access to those with authorised usernames and passwords, and since currently we are trying to host three sites, different usernames and passwords for the three different administrators I'm sure the directions for doing this are somewhere but I'm just a little lame at finding them.

I mean I can write directly to the server without any info in the uername and password fields If I # the password authentication lines in htaccess and the deny from all lines then anyone can write to the server if I take the #'s signs out to require athentication then if someone accesses the site just to view it they are asked for a username and password

OK So a friend and I have set up uniform server and all seems well we want to publish our web sites to it, that seems to be working OK , I can publish my site using NVU on my linux box here at my office, However if we set the sites up so everyone on the web can see them then it seems everyone on the web can write to them!!!! without passwords or security, I know I'm misiing something after looking over the Unicenter site I'm not sure what. we want to allow all to read but only the web administrators to be able to publish to their respectivew sites Using htaccess I can give myself my own password for my site but then only those with that password can access the site to see what I've posted, and then it's really not a web site is it? please just point me in the right direction.
