Is there a way to have multiple users have upload permissions to a directory on the windows side? I know that if I were to add NTFS permissions to allow the user to modify/create files, it would work. However, I am unsure how that works with the quota system or if it can be done in this shared environment.
Please let me know.
Thank you,

We allow up to 3 FTP accounts on the cluster1 side, and on cluster2 it has sub FTP accounts built in on unix and windows.
Cluster1 it is manually created by ticket.
And the FTP accounts will translate into the same account used in the web shell htaccess files?

I put in a ticket for this. They are telling me there is a $2 charge for this. Why is there a charge and why is it so much? Personally, I’d rather just say “no extra accounts”, but I need to understand why there would be a charge for something like this.
Thank you,

No. They are different. Webshell(htprotect/htaccess) authenticates only for web based file access/uploads. and not FTP.
As Stephen said, we can create 3 FTP sub accounts for cluster1 users free of cost as of now. I would like inform that each of these 3 are added manually. Now if you need more, that is again a manual effort, you are charged one time free of $2 for this.
Perhaps I should clarify what I need to be done. My user needs to allow multiple accounts (2) to be able to upload images to a specific directory via a web interface that currently works with the regular user account now. If I just add a secondary account, will that account also be able to upload stuff? If not, how do I make that happen?
And if I’m reading this right, there is no charge for this?
You won’t be able to change the windows user for ASP/ASP.NET uploading.
What we are talking about is windows users, what you are talking about is not something that can be done in most shared hosting at all, it would require ACLs and user impersonation rights for your main user, and that is not something that will be allowed in most cases, I know not here.
That is what I thought. I know that the company I worked for before when I was running the servers, we wouldn’t allow it on the shared hosting servers. But thought that perhaps you guys had access to some tool that did something differently then how I did it.
Thanks for clarifying,

Here is a question to continue this discussion.
What the customer wants to do is have this members only section that members of the site can upload pictures to (it’s a kennel club essentially, so they want to upload dog pictures). The site is written in ASP.Net 2.0. She does not want everyone to have the main account username and password. What is the best way to have them be able to log in as a browser account but be able to upload some things to a specific directory?
She asked if some of the links about using FTP from ASP.Net would work. For example: Google Search
Please help me give the correct guidance for this customer.
Thank you,

that is really not secure, a simple directory limited asp.net upload tool would be best IMO.
So she should be using the ASPUpload code?
AspUpload.com -- Manual: Table of Contents
Is that correct? If so, can she just plug in the code and nothing else special has to be done?
Thank you,
-Ben
