Dear Guru:

We would like to create an account with a valid name and password for a
group of people to FTP their data into our machine. We do not want to use
ANONYMOUS FTP. (We know these people.) Obviously, we want to limit this
account to only 3 permissions:

(1) FTP only (i.e. cannot do anything else)
(2) Read permission only to its "home" directory and sub-directory (i.e.
cannot cd to anywhere else)
(3) Write to one specific directory under its "home" directory.

Many thanks.
