Giving a user rights to a directory

Comment:

I would like to know how to give my user "webmaster" rights to "/var/www" (For FTP, Telnet, and direct access). Could someone please tell me how to do this. His group is "users". If you need to know; but I can create a new group if the group name is needed. (I don't know how to do that either but I think I can find that out) Thanks A lot!

You could make him the owner of the folder/files: # chown -R webmaster /var/www Chances are that the owner already has read/write/execute permissions set, if not: # chmod -R 755 /var/www
