Re: How to restrict users from serfing around my server via FTP.
Hi Hetz
The thing is that i KNOW how to do it.
the way that the wu-ftpd works is by applying the guest restrictions to the
users.
However they said there that it uses the anonymous ftp settings.
Well, i DO NOT want to open unneccery ftp account (anonymous in that case)
due to security issues.
i know that there other ways to restrict users from seeing other users
libraries and such.
If anyone has a better/simple way to do that then please let me know.
Mike
