The problem is: 1) Suppose I logged in as one of the designated ftp user. The ftp daemon would place the user in this directory ('/home/ftp/user') Then suppose if he did a 'cd ..', he/she would be at /home/ftp' Then he/she reissued the 'cd..' command thus placing them in '/home' directory (on my system, /home -> /usr/home) 2) If an anonymous ftp user logs in, he is not able to go beyond the '/home/ftp' even if he tries 'cd ..' two or more times. This would be a security risk if an ftp users other than anonymous can get to system areas through ftp!!. Are there any other settings that need to be set in the ftp resource files I would appreciate if you could give some hints or pointers regarding these issues!! Rajesh Acharya Cybertech Intl, Inc.
