So apply your brain to the problem and take it one step further. :-)
You already know that removing read permission on a directory makes its
contents invisible, right? So:
cd /path/to/ftp/directory
mkdir arb
chmod 751 arb
mkdir arb/leech
chmod 751 arb/leech
If your ftp users are in the group of the user creating these
directories, then you should use mode 711 instead of 751.
Ciao,
Sheldon.
PS: You could simplify the commands above, but I wanted to make sure you
understand what's happening.
