Hello,

I am familiar with the command guestuser <name> command but this command is a little broad, seeing that it doesnt specify what files the user is denied access too.
Is there a way to specify a folder in this command? Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
David

Which ftpd are you using? They vary in features and how you configure them. How secure do you want it? Some ftpd's have better track records than others.

wu-ftpd - http://www.wu-ftpd.org/ "SECURITY VULNERABILITY DISCOVERED!"

You can make a chroot(2) environment, and only have accessible the files you want to be visible (it's possible to hard link to files in the same filesystem that are stored outside of the the chroot environment).
