If I give a user access to a specific server only, I definitely do not want them to be allowed to write to global directories (for example callofduty/ or callofduty/main). And it is really bad that they can read/write other servers' files! I don't want one customer to know another customers' passwords, rcons etc. I know you will advise me to use subdomains, but I don't want to do that, because you need to have more copies of gamefiles. :X That is a lot of diskspace.

Hi,

Subdomains are the only way to work around this at the moment.

Our FTP implementation is the first, and will be taking feedback at a later date to see what needs improving.

You could disable downloads if you decide (so users may uploads mods/maps but not download config files).

If you are running a game server rental service, you may be interested in using our (yet to be developed 100% 'user friendly') content manager script so you may deploy your own copies of your game software to your hosts, instead of downloading copies from our web server.

If you are interested, let me know and I can send you the details - I just need an email address to send them to.

Andrew's comments are a bit misleading: subdomains are not a workaround they are the intended (and only) solution.

Any instance where's a user's server should be isolated from others, you MUST use a subdomain. FTP is pretty irrelevant in this situation: a hostile user can use the files manager in GameCreate to create arbitrary config files (and hence, overwrite another user's files).

We feel a budget of 10gb HD space per server is realistic and essentially meaningless versus the cost of providing the server itself. We have no plans to add symbolic link support.
