Hello,

I have web users on a w2k server that would like to manage
their web sites remotely, i.e. downloading and uploading
web pages.

I have tried using ftp to accomplish this. What I did is
enabling a ftp account for each user, then assigned the
ftp home directory to the same diretory used for the web
site. The user directory has the permission set to:
1. allow "everyone" to read it
2. but only allow the user to have the "full control".

The 1st permssion is for everyone to read the user's web
pages. The 2nd one is allowing only the user to upload
the web page files. This seems to work out fine.

** The problem is when a user is logging on its ftp
account, the user can go up its parent directory and view
all the other users' directory and, even, copy the files.

Q. How can I prevent the user from viewing the others'
directory and copying the others' files while still
maintain the users' web site viewability from everyone.

what is a typical approach to provide both www and ftp
service without seeing the problem describe above?

Thank you in advance
Sophia
