Hi

I created an Additional FTP Account, so this user can upload some files to an existing folder of my website, but I don't want to this user can delete files that already exist in the folder.

Is there any way I can do this?

Hello,

You can make it so no user can delete files over FTP if you're using Pure-FTPd by uncommenting the line as follows:

Code:
# Allow users to resume/upload files, but *NOT* to delete them.

# KeepAllFiles                 yes:
The following documentation gives instructions on how to edit the Pure-FTP configuration: How to Edit FTP Server Configuration from the Command Line | cPanel & WHM Documentation

You'd just replace ForcePassiveIP used in the example with KeepAllFiles
