Really has nothing to do with ftpd. On a directory, 'read' permission allows someone to 'ls' the directory. 'Execute' permission alows people to get at files in the directory. Just give it execute permission, e.g. 551, to the users and they need a full pathname (or an intense dictionary atack) to get a a file. -- Crist J.
