I will have a set of vendors who will be uploading (sftp) files to us on our DMZ. I want each vendor to have ownership and full permissions into only their own folder (obviously), but I want our employee to have access rights into each of those folders (so they can sftp the files out of there and into the protected LAN).

SO what I am planning is something like this:

(SNIP)

I'd actually just do this with POSIX ACLs. Set a default on the parent dir's ACL (setfacl -d) for the employee group with rwx (or rx, etc.) (so `setfacl -d --set g:staff_group:rwx /path/to/sftpdir`).

Ta-da. Applies to new directories recursively automatically.
