numero = 53952

texte = Do any of you OS X guys/gals have the time or inclination to help me with a simple server question? I have several not-for-profit websites running on my OS X / Apache server and I'd like to turn them over for others to update etc., via FTP access. My question is should I create a new "user" for each account and move that respective website into their web space i.e.: /users/joe_blow/sites? Currently everything resides at: /library/webserver/websites/. Is this the correct way to set things up for serving different hosts on OS X? Suggestions, comments? And then what are the steps to securely set up that users FTP account/access to allow for only browsing that assigned web space? This may be old hat for some of you, I apologize if so.
