I thought that was what you wanted. They cannot 'ls' leech, but they can get items from it if they know the whole pathname. There is no way to make a single file disappear from the listing of a directory using the filesystem permissions. It may very well be possible to do with one of your more complicated ftpd servers... If you are willing to expose yourself to all of the security holes that those have been revealing as of late. -- Crist J.
