texte = I am evaluating WebCatalog for use in a small mall. The mall consists of several shops. Each shop has its own directory, templates and database.Every one of the shops has its own webmaster with FTP access to his (and only his) directory. The problem is: Every webmaster has full rights to his directory (to update his own sites). This means he could write a template that can manipulate the data in the database in another directory/shop, couldn't he?Is there any way to prevent that and still allow full access to the directory? What about commands like CopyFile or DeleteFile? Can they be switched off completely or kept from working outside their parent directory?---- Rainer Hofmeister rhofm@webkom.co.at Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
