Hi everyone. I was hoping someone could answer this question for me.
Let's say there is a directory structure such as this:

http://www.company.com/dir1/dir2/dir3/

And 'dir3' changes depending on which department you want to access.
If you want the website for marketing, you'd type 'marketing' as your
final directory in the URL.

Anyway, what I'm wondering about is, is it possible to give someone
access to just that directory on the server for the purpose of
uploading html files (and general website maintenance)? If I work in
marketing, for example, (this is a made-up example, btw) and want to
be given access to just that folder, is this something an
administrator can do?

To be a little more specific, let's use this made-up URL:

http://www.company.com/finance/advertising/marketing

Forgive my possible naivety when it comes to how companies are
strucutre, but just assume that the Finance department includes
Advertising, which includes Marketing. Can I have access to the
marketing directory on the server without also having access to
advertising or finance, or anything else on company.com?

Thanks.
