About this How To

Summary: allow your users to have public web space accessable by http://www.your_domain/user_name

Keywords: User-web-space

Tips: {To set up a user web space with ftp access} you need two things, the user space contrib and chroot for ftp. How to install chroot for FTP Chroot for ftp confines a user to a specified ftp directory. The user space contrib allows you to create the user space you specified, http://www.mydowmain.com/user_name. You can get the userspace contrib here:

And the chroot for ftp here:

http://ccskavenger.lc-usa.net/SME(E-SMITH)/contribs/5.6/chrootforftp/

The chroot contrib works in 6.0, just ignore the errors. Don't forget to setup quotas for your users, or they will use up your hard drive. Also, {if} you are an ISP, make sure that you have some kind of contract that exonerates you from any legal matters that may arise from copyrighted material being hosted on your server (ie. mp3s, movies, and the like).

Known Limitations and Caveats: As stated by everyone else, I am not responsible for what you do with your server, test all software on another machine before you install on your production server. That being said, have fun and good luck.
