<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Simon,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would suggest that you use the Alias directive in
httpd.conf</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>For example, if you want the /science/ section to
be administered by the user "fred", then you could add the following line to the
httpd.conf</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alias /science/
/home/fred/science-www/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or whatever directory you want to contain the
website for that section of the site. So you might have part of your httpd.conf
that looks like:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alias /science/
/home/fred/science-www/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alias /maths/ /home/mary/maths-www/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Alias /english/ /home/bob/english-www/</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>(You could also put that in a file called, say,
faculty.conf, and then include faculty.conf in your httpd.conf)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There are other ways - you could use
mod_rewrite as well - but I think this is the easiest way...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Cheers,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Subject: [Lias] FTP Access</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial><BR><FONT size=2></FONT></FONT></DIV><FONT face=Arial
size=2>> Hi all,<BR>> I want to be able to give various staff members the
ability to maintain<BR>> sections of our website - to do this they will need
to be able to ftp the<BR>> files from Dreamweaver. I don't want to give them
access to the entire<BR>> htdocs folder, just subfolders eg PE Teacher
can access folder PE etc. In<BR>> addition I only want them to get this
access from the local LAN not over<BR>> the internet.<BR>> <BR>> Is
there an FTP server that will allow me to set this up in the config
files?<BR>> <BR>> All I have found so far is that ftpuser lists those that
can't login.<BR>> <BR>> One thought I had is that they ftp to their own
home directories and I put<BR>> a softlink between there and the real web
directory.<BR>> <BR>> Any more clues for the clueless?<BR>> <BR>>
