Personal notes on Rust language and its features

Things to learn:

How to configure directory accessible by both FTP user and a webserver running under Debian?

In order to do this, we will need three things:

Configure vsftpd to work with separate user configurations
Set correct permissions for directories accessible via FTP
Turn off SSH access for FTP users

You can also jump to working production configuration attached below.

Use here_document with class_eval to simplify debugging:

class_eval <<-"end_eval", __FILE__, __LINE__

  def #{block_accessor}(*args, &block)
    unless args.empty? && block.nil?
      args.push block if block_given?
      @#{block_accessor} = [args].flatten
 end
