Re: FTP permissions

The only problem I wanted addressed with my original post was a way to
determine the owner of a directory when a virtual host is created. I would
like a way to specify the owner on the directory, maybe an iTools preference
somewhere.

This is a small hassle when you are using webcatalog as you need to change
the ownership on the directory BEFORE you can upload and use it.

Any way this can be done Tenon ??
Thanks
