Can I make an FTP directory UPLOAD ONLY`

[taylormade]

I need to create an UPLOAD ONLY and also a DOWNLOAD FTP directories.
Can someone tell me how to do this?
I've tried every combination of PERMISSIONS I can think of but none does the restrictions just the way I need.
?

As it pertains to "download-only" FTP directories, you can use the Anonymous FTP profile and activate only "Allow anonymous access to ftp://ftp.yourwebsite.com" through the Anonymous FTP Controls page in cPanel.

that would be a good solution if we wanted to avail the site to the WORLD, however this has to be a user/password access for security reasons.

I'm not aware of this possibility in FTP. If you give access to someone to an FTP folder, then they have access to that folder, and any other child folders/directories/files. You can limit anonymous access, but I think, if I remember correctly, if you want to limit access to FTP in the way you describe, you will have to change the FTP config file, which you won't have access to here.

You can also write a script in php that will handle downloads or uploads on a per user basis. I don't know if that will fit your bill though, as it will use HTTP instead of FTP.

thank you.. I guess we'll have to work on another solution...

There's lots of uploaders/downloaders available. The one I like most is FileThingie (runs in php). Almost fully configurable with lots of users, individual areas etc. possible. Do a google to find it.
