Protect server from deleting files

[IgorM]

I have a server running linux sharing files from 2 HDDs via SMB and FTP and I want to prevent data loss from an user accidentally deleting files from it. What are my options?

CHMOD and CHOWN

I still want to be able to delete files nedded

[SupaKomputa]

chmod 755 /foldername
chown -R root:root /foldername

As the owner of the folder, only root now can delete files.

Snapshots and backups
 

And permissions

 

Set groups and permissions for groups.

yeah but also a good option would be to set up a trash folder, do you know how I can do it?

With SMB Shares you can enable for it to be moved to the users trash bin if you can control the client. You can do snapshots and backups.

Currently I don't know of any way to get them to be moved to a trash bin instead.
