well, It's sure doing that, and I did not change any server configs there.
I'd not know where to go to do so anyway.
I heard something about needing to c h root jail the user in their home
directory by making a file with their user name found in
/etc/ftpchroot
Using pico, or the like, but after I did this, and just added the line
ben
then saved, it didn't work.
What I can say is all permissions are correct.
ben is in the ben group, with read write access. his group, also called
ben, has read access. All others have read access.
so basicly 644 I think.
ben owns /Volumes/MacHD/users/ben
my user account, chrisgilland has the same permissions to my home folder. I
belong to the admin group.
The mac hd volume is owned by system, and belongs to the admin group with
owner having read write execute, group having read only, and others having
nothing.
If I connect in IE7 under windows to:
ftp://192.168.1.100
I get a page cannot be displayed.
If I do:
ftp://ben:his password which I won't [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Then I get index of root
and bing bang boom. I see everything.
All I did is went to system prefs, sharing, and turned on ftp sharing.
Then went system prefs, accounts, add account, gave him both a name of ben,
all in lower case, gave the same for the short name, and unchecked the box
to allow him to administer the computer. Then in the pwd field, I put his
pwd, and then verified it. then hit create user button.
Then, rebooted for safe measure.
That is all? I, did.
I also went under system prefs, sharing, personal web sharing, and checked
that and started apache which btw is now working absolutely flawlessly.
Chris.

I don't have tiger but seem to remember that ftp did not normally allow
access to the entire system.

some things to do/check. if you are logged into an admin account, use a
non
admin account and boot into it. Check the readwrite status on your drive
and folders. if it is set to everyone can read and write, ftp will leave
you wide open.

Subject: ftp server issues still not resolved
I'm still having the same issue with my ftp server built into the o s.
When
users try logging in, and btw, they are not! administrators, they see
their
entire home dir sure, but, they see more than that so... everything. I
mean, they are getting read/write to the root. they could practicly wipe
the whole system, not just my Tiger volume, but all of them, being they
can
get to the volumes folder. Heck, they can see /dev, /etc/ all of that is
there.
why in the heavens is this. I thought if they logged in with their
account
details, they'd be taken into their homedir and no further up.
I understand I may not be getting many responses on this as no one really
knows, but can someone at least try to help me? I'd rather get possibly
far
fetched answers, than to get none as it seems I am.
Chris.
