Hi I've had a similar situation set up on an Intranet, running with this configuration. There were seperate authentications for ftp and Apache. 1) FTP - If your Server Root directory is, say, /usr/www, create sub-directories for each user and create a user account for each on the machine. Set the directory permissions so that only that user can access that directory. You would then set up the ftp client on the user's machine to log in as that user and that the default directory is /usr/www/<your user name>. 2) Apache - you can set up user or group specific security using .htaccess files in the directories or you can do the whole lot in the <directory></directory> section of /etc/httpd/httpd.conf - check out the Apache documentation for this - http://www.apache.org This brings up a password dialogue box when you attempt to get into the protected directory. Hope this helps. Cheers M pons wrote:

At work I have Linux Machine 2.2.16 SuSE7.0 Pro. The Linux machine its up and running. I want to setup my Intranet for my LAN user by giving each user the possiblity to authenticate him self (username + password) to get/download his ownfiles (Txt,Xls,Doc, Rtf) via Internet Expolorer from his machine. it means the linux machine should run FTP server as well beside apache. Each user should have his own home directory such as http://X.X.X.X/user1 ... etc. then should a window appear to authenticate him self to download the files.
Do you know how could i set up the above? Any input would be really appreciated.
