(Server) Wildcards in Permissions

[mugendai]

It would be nice to be able to use wildcards, such as
the * when settings file permissions.

This would be especially useful if for instance you
wanted to provide each user a folder that has special
permissions where the folder name was the same.

Ex.
c:\ftp\users\*\upload
and then give that permission to write files.

This allows a single entry that lets each user have a
folder that any user can upload to.

The :u feature is quite useful, however this would
allow on htat user access to upload in that folder.

It could also be nice if this feature could be extended to
allow speficification of permissions on files, wish I will
go ahead an make seperate request based on.

Please, this cant be too hard to do, and would a be an amazing feature, as i have the same need as mugendai.

Having folders like /root/$username/incoming
So i give everybody write permission on root/*/incoming.

So everybody can upload something for that user in his own /incoming/ folder.

And maybe make two types of wildcard.

One for every folder like for example

root/username/incoming/cookies/download
would match /root/*/download

but not match
/root/?/download
because ? is only for one folder so it would have to be
/root/?/?/?/download
to work.

Triage suggestion

I do not see a way to accomplish this in FileZilla Server version 0.9.60. However, this feature request is 12 years old.

If there are no plans to support wildcard-based privilege assignment, I suggest closing this feature request.
