Challenges in storing files in ftp path

jith iii

Hello, I got a requirement from the admin group of a public website that they need to get a report everyday. The reports can be created wth an operation in the site and at the end of the day admin should be able to access the data. I am exploring the possibilities of exposing an ftp path location without compromising the security. Any suggestions on this?Basically, I want to know is it risky to do this in this way and should i suggest some alternate solution. Regards, Jith

Presumably you have a web site rather than a ftp server. And you are going to support a ftp protocol on the web site. As such the web site is what provides the authentication/authorization.

I assumed you meant this: * Admin clicks 'generate report' button * System writes file into 'reports' folder * Admin uses FTP to access the 'reports' folder to access a report If so, you can make this work well: FTP is done independently of HTTP, so you can make an entire FTP address that can ONLY access the reports folder, depending on how you configure your server. You can also make the reports read-only to the FTP user etc. If you really wanted, you could just point the FTP access to the root of the site, and deny access to everything except the reports folder, as you see fit. If you manage your permissions correctly, there is absolutely no risk involved.
