What about say a folder that Getch's or Statslab is in?

Some Links for those who might not have a clue what I'm talking about:
FTP and Understanding File Permissions
[all variants] File permissions, Write vs. Execute (RWX) - Ubuntu Forums

On most servers (I won't say all since I obviously don't know every single platform out there), a folder has to be set executable to be able to change directories into it. So for most folders you are really talking about read vs write privileges. If you use a seperate account for the league managers from the one you use for commissioner actions, you can give the league manager account read-only access for the download file directory (They never need to write to it), and then give them read and write access to the exports directory.
