Ok I am in a boggle here… What I am trying to do is find a remote host for an FTP server. I have a bunch of clients that consistantly need to upload large files such as CAD drawings to us here at my work. I know any host could provide FTP service, but I need the ability to set up indivudual usernames and passwords for certain dirrectioies. We dont have any internal servers at my location to do this so I need to look elsewhere. An anyonomous FTP was was fine for a while, but allot of our customers are competitors with eachother and we cant have them seeing eachothers prototype drawings. Anyone know of a remote FTP solution? BTW, if it could also point our domain “[choftp.com](http://choftp.com)” to it that would also be huge. Thanks. ---

I dont know if this is what you mean really, but, theres a program out there called BulletFTP (I believe) that lets you setup usernames and passwords, and I think it’ll let you do it for seperate directories aswell, but Im not sure… Try it out though, you never know, I may be right once in my life 😛 splintcll 😏 ---

if you have a server you can set up diffrent accounts for each client and restrict their access to the folder you specify theres a few ftp server apps if you want to host the ftps locally on your server or host here a a few links to some ftp server apps [http://www.bpftpserver.com/](http://www.bpftpserver.com/) [http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/](http://proftpd.linux.co.uk/) [http://www.serv-u.com/](http://www.serv-u.com/) you can find more if you google for ftp server hope that helps :beam: ---
