Hi,

How can I make a directory to allow write access for me (user) and wwwrun, but not for everybody else?

background:

I have kind of a self made cms in php that creates my web pages and writes them into directories on my local computer. If these are my own directories their rights are drwxr-xr-x and therefore wwwrun cannot write into them. If I give write rights to everyone, then wwwrun can write into the directory, of course.

But how can I achieve, that *only* me and wwwrun can write into that directory?

thanks for your hints.

Daniel

You could do something like: chown -R username.group /path/to/folder # Folder and files owned by you (Recursively) chmod -R 700 username.group /path/to/folder # Folder and files only accessible to you (rwx) setfacl -R -m u:wwwrun:rwx /path/to/folder # Folder and files also accessible to wwwrun (rwx) setfacl -R -m d:u:wwwrun:rwx /path/to/folder # New folders and files will also be accessible to wwwrun (rwx) Please read the man pages of chmod and setfacl / getfacl before applying the new acl's, and changing your current file permissions. I'm not sure if this is the best way to do it, perhaps others on the list have better ways of doing it.
