Is this a big concern? It also outlines a way to prevent uploads from being downloaded - I do not necessarily want to go this far. What I'd really like to do is to allow the current/actual uploader to do anything to his uploaded files and directories, but to allow only downloading by all other anonymous FTP users (including himself on another connection). I see I can set various flags on ftpd to disallow uploading and downloading for anon users altogether, but that's not my goal. Anyone? Thanks.
