You should really create a new group for the web site, chown all the files in there to that group, and put that person in it rather than giving them root permissions (which is what you'd have to do to allow them to write to those directories). We do something similar with our anonymous ftp site. The maintainers are in the ftpadmin group and thus have full access, but everyone else can't touch it. > 3) My guest group is the group of every user in my server 2000-->normal > user.

There may be some special trick but you have to remember that the system forgets about everything above /home/username, so that becomes the effective /. Thus, they can't get to the /bin directory for ls. So I think you're stuck to providing everyone with their own ls.
