Operating Systems Solaris Permissions configuration for web server Post 302694893 by Corona688 on Friday 31st of August 2012 02:05:04 PM

That's the sort of thing groups are for. Users belonging to the group the folder belongs to will be able to create, edit, and delete files inside it as long as you chmod g+rwx foldername. Files they create will belong to themselves.

Either add them to the group the folder belongs to, or create a new group for them, add them to it, and chown the folder to it. New group might be preferable if you want to avoid the webserver being able to write to the folder!

Do not brute-force it with chmod 777, that's a security nightmare.

Other things you might consider doing to the shared folder are making it group-sticky(so that new files will belong to the group), and sticky, like /tmp/ is, so users can only delete files which belong to them. You can control the permissions their files are created with via their umask.

Name
       rmf - remove folder

Syntax
       rmf [ +folder ] [ -help ] [ -[no]interactive ]

Description
       The  command  removes all of the messages within the current folder, and then removes the folder itself.  If there are any files within the
       folder which are not part of MH, they are not removed, and an error message is displayed.

       You can specify a folder other than the current folder by using the +folder argument.  If you do not specify a folder, and cannot find  the
       current folder, asks you whether you want to delete instead.

       If the current folder is removed, it makes current.

       Note that the command irreversibly deletes messages that do not have other links, so use it with caution.

       If  the folder being removed is a sub-folder, the parent folder becomes the new current folder, and tells you that this has happened.  This
       provides an easy mechanism for selecting a set of messages, operating on the list, then removing the list  and  returning  to  the  current
       folder from which the list was extracted.

       Using to delete a read-only folder deletes the private sequence and current message information from the file, without affecting the folder
       itself.	If you have sub-folders within a folder, you must delete all the sub-folders before you can delete the folder itself.

Options
       -help	 Prints a list of the valid options to this command.

       -interactive
       -nointeractive
		 Asks for confirmation before deleting a folder.  By default, deletes a folder and its messages without asking	for  confirmation.
		 If  you  specify  the	-interactive option, asks if you are sure before deleting the folder.  You are advised to use this option,
		 since when deletes a folder its contents are lost irretrievably.

Examples
       This example shows how asks for confirmation when the -interactive option is used:
       % rmf -interactive +test
       Remove folder "test"? y
