I have a seedbox and am wondering about the best way to securely share it with someone from FST. Is there a guide? Any gotchas? What are you really sharing? Just bandwdth? Does each ip user get their own disk space etc? Or am I allowing them access to everything I downloaded?

If you're making an account for someone on windows, don't give them admin priviledges. If you're giving them a username on a linux based os, don't give them root priviledges. They won't be able to access your directories. However, it'll be from the same IP, so you might want to bring that up with them.

Thanks intergral. Yes I failed to mention its a windows 2003 server. OK so creating a new user id will protect my stuff. I guess they have to be ok with me having access to their stuff since I would have admin rights. I believe my lea$eweb server has 2 ips so that would be ok too.

Yeah, just remember that you'll have to add them to the Remote Connection list as well, on top of creating their new user account.

If you want them to just allow to upload and download from torrents than you should look at webui or Tflux.
