Got a problem on setting ftp at cpanel.
I want to setting all the ftp user can upload only, but can not modify and delete the file which upload by themselves, is that possible do it in cpanel? thanks.

Setting users to upload only is not yet possible in cPanel/WHM.

If you have SSH access to the server then you can edit pure-ftpd.conf file and enable NOT to delete file option as given below :

vi /etc/pure-ftpd.conf

# Allow users to resume and upload files, but *NOT* to delete them.

#KeepAllFiles yes

Just remove # in front of KeepAllFiles.

# Allow users to resume and upload files, but *NOT* to delete them.

KeepAllFiles yes

Now save changes and quit.

Then restart FTP service on the server.

/etc/init.d/pure-ftpd restart

But from this option you can't deny from renaming the file name.

Check your FTP server selection in WHM ....

Are you sure you are running pure-ftpd?

Cpanel also offers "ProFTPd" as an alternate server and you could possibly be running that server instead of pure-ftpd.

(I personally don't recommend ProFTPd for a lot of various reasons)
