cPanel should allow to control FTP Accounts' PERMISSIONS!!

[asgarcymed]

I would like to create FTP accounts which:

-) Have permission to download files
-) Do NOT have permission to upload nor delete/copy/move files

So, this users, which would have a specific UserName/Password (NOT anonymous login), would be able to see/browse all files and folders from a main path, download all files they want, but making changes to files/folders structure and contents would be denied...

As far as I know, this is NOT possible, what is a big handicap for me...

cPanel should allow to configure ProFTPd or simply allow to control FTP Accounts' PERMISSIONS!!...

Thanks.
Regards.

Can you not just set the file permissions as you need using chmod 750

- or via the cpanel file manager
- or via your ftp client

I tried to change attributes/permissions (CHMOD) but I got a strange phenomenon! - When I change the permission, my FTP clients tells me "OK, permissions now changed to ____"; however, this new permissions simply do NOT work - all changes I try to make are 100% IGNORED despite showing a message of (fake) success...

Yes, this is not something that we control.
