I mean have you discussed what might need to be done with anyone at
apple.
surely, they can help in a general way.

no, they won't help me since I don't have a service agreement with my
mac.
Remember, this thing was donated to me through a company and since
they got
it the things out dated. I mean the system was apparently made in the
thirteenth week of 2000. This is also why I said I can't get help
through
means of upgrading to Leopard. It's only 500mhz. Someone suggested
I got
ncftpd, but that thing seems even more tricky than what comes with
Tiger, by
far. Of corse it would make since to that guy. He's a programmer.
I want want a symple way to host an ftp server for people so that
they can
upload there web sites to apache which I very successfully have set
up. I
really don't think that is too much to ask. Not trying to be defensive,
but...
Chris.

I'm not running server edition. This is just the standard Tiger
10.4 that
has a built in ftp server under system prefs, then sharing.

Chris, I may not be of much help, but is this a standard installation,
the server edition, and have you checked to see if there is a list of
files or an access list? If there is not, that may be why your having
this issue. Of course if that is so, then you really need to let Apple
know since this would be a security violation/issue for sure.
Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to the thread since I don't mess
with
any ftp servers any longer. Now reading your message, I'm quite
curious.

I'm still having the same issue with my ftp server built into the

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.
