Step-3: Create ftp account with Shared directory

            Create group ftp-users as a group of ftp user account and share a directory named Resources in to /home/ as a share directory for the remote users.

[root@ftp ~]# groupadd ftp-users

[root@ftp ~]# mkdir /home/Resources

Make the directory accessible to the ftp-users group.

[root@ftp ~]# chmod 750 /home/Resources 

[root@ftp ~]# chown root:ftp-users /home/Resources

Now add some users into ftp-users groups and make their default directory /home/Resources

[root@ftp ~]# useradd -g ftp-users -d /home/Resources user1

[root@ftp ~]# useradd -g ftp-users -d /home/Resources user2

[root@ftp ~]# passwd user1

[root@ftp ~]# passwd user2

Copy files to be downloaded by your users into the /home/Resources directory

Change the permissions of the files in the /home/Resources directory for read only access by the group

[root@ftp ~]# chown root:ftp-users /home/Resources/*

[root@ftp ~]# chmod 740 /home/Resources/*

Step-4: Now restart all the required services

[root@ftp ~]# service iptables stop

[root@ftp ~]# service network restart

[root@ftp ~]# service vsftpd restart
