FTP permissions work in conjunction with ntfs permissions to restrict or
allow users or groups access with the most restrictive of the two
permissions applying. In other words if your FTP site is set to read only
and a user has write access to a folder, they will not be able to write to
the folder. When configuring permissions make sure that only the specific
groups you want to have access are included in the permissions with the
proper permissions. Do not have everyone or users included for instance if
you want to restrict a folder to specific groups. If possible, have your ftp
folders on a different drive partition other than the system drive. Do not
enable anonymous access unless you want to allow anyone to access your ftp
server. Keep in mind that for FTP authentication that user credentials are
sent in clear text. The link below may help. --- Steve
