Dufs supports path level access control. You can control who can do what on which path with --auth/-a.

dufs -a <path>@<readwrite>[@<readonly>|@*]

• <path>: Protected url path
• <readwrite>: Account with upload/delete/view/download permission, required
• <readonly>: Account with view/download permission, optional

* means <path> is public, everyone can view/download it.

For example:

dufs -a /@admin:pass1@* -a /ui@designer:pass2 -A

• All files/folders are public to view/download.
• Account admin:pass1 can upload/delete/view/download any files/folders.
• Account designer:pass2 can upload/delete/view/download any files/folders in the ui folder.

dufs --hidden .git,.DS_Store
