I probably do not understand something, please help to understand. I created some shared folders and some users for FTP access and learnt that when different users have access to the same folder, they still do not see files uploaded by others. They see only files uploaded by themselves. Furthermore. If I upload file using local network, I do not see it using internet access from WAN and vise versa. Is this how it supposed to work?? Same with subdirectories one user does not see subdirectories created by another user even when they have premission for the same directory..

I thought I could create directories and share them with other users so I can put files there using my access and they see only those directories what I permitted to each of them but they see nothing what I placed there unless they use my access...

Thank you

No, that's not how it's supposed to work. FTP users are only to give Read or Read/Write permissions, and that's it, but they see every file inside the folder for which they have the Read permission.

In Linux there are 3 permissions "owner", "group" and "everyone"

that's why you see 3 numbers (765) on the files.
