Permissions to allow write & read - but not delete?

46 New Member
Hi Guys,

Is it possible to give a folder permissions so that files can be written to it and read from it, just not deleted?

Thanks!

Does this sound correct?

Thanks

If you set the sticky bit for the directory, only a file's owner can the file.

Hi Motoma!

Thanks for the tip. That will do most of what I want.

But is there also a way to stop the user who created the file in the directory from deleting the file?

Thanks mate!

I'm not talking Access Users & Groups, I may or may not implement that. Even if I do file/folder rights still need to be managed. I've searched the archives and read the many postings. The basic problem seems to be this: Access is a 'file server' based system. So if you want your users to use the db they've got to have access to the file. And can do stuff to it you might not want.

Hello, I'm writing a site where a handful of people will be able to edit the content using PHP scripts (FCKeditor). The content is stored as individual files in a directory. I'd like to validate the "editors" using PHP, cookies, etc. The question is what file permissions I need to allow for the content to be writable by my PHP script. Do I really need to give write permissions to the "other" group. Are all wikis really that vulnerable?...
