The server end, including buiding, setup, management, logging, security,
and general configuration, is described here:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/iksd.html
See in particular Section 4.4. You can tell the server to DISABLE DELETE
if you don't want to set clients delete files. However, this sometimes
backfires on you if you DO want to let them upload files, because what
happens when they upload a file that has the same name as an existing file?
If the existing file can't be deleted or renamed (e.g. to back it up),
then the only option is to rename the new file, which can be a bit
counterintuitive.
