Hi and thanks to all suggestions. We currently go with the "old" way:
the users do the up- and download as told in the last years so we dont
have to change permissions or the server software and next year we may
change the system totally.
This is an upload ftp server for one annual event, so.
Learned some things and thanks again . Götz
