Ok what I'm trying to do is very simple.. I want to share my pictures folder over my home network.
I marked the folder as shared and in system preferences I turned on file sharing with FTP access.
When I connect to the shared folder with my ubuntu laptop, instead of just getting the folder I shared I get the entire computer.. so I created a new sharing only user, but I cannot access the shared folder when I try to login with that new username/password.
If I elevate that shared account to a standard account I can access my mac from ubuntu but I get that users entire home directory..
How can I just setup a single shared folder without access to the entire hard drive, and how can I access that shared folder without having to setup another user account on my mac.. that seems ridiculous to me.
I hope its just something I over looked..
