I am try to setup an FTP Account which would act similar to an anonymous FTP account but would need a password instead of just an email ID. I started with making an account and assigning a home directory to the directory that I want the user to see but I do not want that user to see any other directories on that server except his own. This works in terms of permissions but the user cannot see a listing of files in the directory assigned as his home directory. The files are only visible via a command line interface using the 'ls' command, but are not visible using any GUI based FTP client.

On the "man ftpd" page is an nice list of the exact commands and files required. Just alter the word "ftp" when referenced as a user or directory in this section with your required username, and you should be fine. It is the possesion of a subdirectory containing "ls" and the special lib and dev files that does the trick.<br> <p>Fiona Williams<br><a href=mailto:willif@mosspharmacy.co.uk>willif@mosspharmacy.co.uk</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
