We want to give FTP access to third party to modify files on a specific folder our server. We will give them access to the specific website's folder only. However, we just want them to read and modify the files and list the directories. We don't want them to create new files in that folder. Is it possible to do so?
In the past, we allowed one third party with Read/Write(files) and List+SubDir(Directories). They uploaded their crazy hacking files and they managed to access our server's Shell prompt, Task Manager and everything. They even installed their software with that Editor.php file on our server. We cannot let it happen again.
Any solution will be appreciated.
Thanks

In filezilla server control panel go to the users menu and select the user you want to modify. Click "shared folders" in the left menu and click on the directory you want to modify permissions for. Unhceck "Write" and select "append" and only check "list" in the directories permissions.
If you want to edit a user group put the selected users in a group you have created and do the same using the groups option.
