Mark, Been using it here for a while in it's most basic setup just to keep marketing people from poking around my server *grin*. I've also found vsftpd to also be nice in this respect. Both seem to have tha advantage of locking down the user. Downside is that they use the system commands (ls gzip etc) rather than locally held versions of them. So the lock is not complete. But vs anything else out there I like what I see so far. James
