Has anyone else run into this issue? I have users that I want to give ONLY read access to my entire FTP directory, but write permissions to the "Upload" directory. When I try to set this on my 323, it just overwrites the previous setting. Can you only set one folder permission per user? If so, that would really suck...

With the D-Link provided webGUI, you can set only one permission (password) per folder (share).
If you abandon the webGUI to manage your users and groups, you can setup the SAMBA software
to do what you want.

Take a look at http://dns323.kood.org/howto:bettersamba for more information.

I don't mean to be picky, but that link has nothing about FTP access and permissions. And you don't mean that I would have to give up the entire 323 GUI, right?

I was kind of hoping there would be a program I could install that would replace the default FTP app. Kind of like how Transmission replaces the default torrent app. My UNIX is very limited, so I need something simple (I could do the fun_plug and transmission install, but anything over that level would probably lose me).

you didn't explicitly say you wanted to do this via ftp - you mentioned folder permissions and permissions for directories/users - ok, what you meant was implied, but that may have given rise to confusion. Anyway, yes you can install a replacement for ftp, see the wiki how to: vsftpd http://dns323.kood.org/howto:vsftpd
And no, when you install something else that 'duplicates'/improves on the existing functionality you don't need to dispense with the whole webgui, just the part that applies to the inbuilt functionality that you have replaced.

Oops, sorry I missed the detail about using FTP My answer pertained to a SAMBA shared folder.
Luusac has the right idea, you can install a different ftp server, from FFP, optware or other (provided it is compiled for DNS-323).

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm looking for, but I was hoping that there would be something a little "simpler" for non-unix users. For example, at the very end, it says "you can set up a startup script like the one that follows..." but it doesn't say where to put the script or how to get the 323 to run the script at startup. I would need a very basic, step by step (you type this, then type this) kind of tutorial. Know of any?

Thanks,

when the dns323 boots it looks for a file (unix formatted text file) called "fun_plug" in the root of Volume_1. If you remember dos it is the equivalent of c:\autoexec.bat If the fun_plug file is found then the dns323 attempts to run it.

So what you need is a fun_plug file which either contains the commands that you refer to in the 'startup script' or (better) you make a startup script (text file with unix line endings). You put this startup script wherever you like and then and then call that starup script from your fun_plug file.

e.g. fun_plug

Code:

#!/bin/sh
/mnt/HD_a2/startupscript.sh

Assuming that you have a file called startupscript.sh in the root of your Volume_1

The unix format for the text file is important, if you are using windows *don't use* notepad. I use nano to edit files directly on the dns323, but then of course you have to install that first ... There are windows editors that will save the script files in the correct format (with unix line endings), but you usually need to tell them to save it in that format in (e.g. the save dialog). Search this forum or use your favorite search engine to find an editor that will do the job.
