How do I allow someone to FXP files to my FTP?

[Nocturnal]

What do I have to do to make this happen? Is it something server side or is it an option or something?

Hi Nocturnal

Who is your host? Does your hosting package use cPanel or what?

 

[Nocturnal]

cPanel yes, and dathorn is my hosting provider.

Go to FTP Manager > FTP Accounts.

This page should contain the info and options you'll need to add an account. Think you may need to create the directory for the FTP account before you add the user. If you have any more queries post back.

EDIT: Sorry, just re-read your initial post and realised that you may need to limit their ability to write other files in that same directory. If that is the case, I don't know. If you just meant that you don't want the user to be able to write files in other directories then follow the guidance on that page I mentioned above.

In other words, cPanel lets you limit an FTP account with read and write priviledges to a certain directory, but as far as I know it doesn't let you assign 'upload only' priviledges.

Yes, I'm sorry. I just want the user account to be able to upload/download files in one directory but not others.

So in that case you don't mind them having read and write access to an entire directory, and you should be able to follow the guidelines in cPanel as mentioned above.
