Re: How to restrict users from serfing around my server via FTP.
You know, all i asked is a simple question.
all you could do is to tell me to read the HOWTO.
and BTW, i did and i know how to do it, however this time it didn't
worked...
Next time please do not insult me, or better simply DO NOT reply to my
question.
Thanks for nothing....
