Multiple FTP servers - IIS/PHP

[Steve21]

Afternoon All,

 

So our CS guys decided to do their coursework using PHP for their classes but it needs to be controlled, so obviously each user needs a private area for PHP to run.

 

My idea would be a personal folder on the web-server that each user has FTP access to.

 

Just wondering how this works from the FTP point of view, do you need 1 server setup for each, or can you use one server and then lock down users to a single folder etc? (Bearing in mind this needs to be within the IIS folders for the PHP to function etc)

 

Many thanks,

Steve

Directory per user, set users home dir on the FTP of the created user folder.

Can most FTP servers do that? Never really tried with multiple users before Thinking FTPZilla maybe?

Usually, I use Filezilla FTP Server. I can have multiple users to one folder or multiple to there own individual folders.
