[QUOTE="suburbanpakeha, post: 723201, member: 64711"] Hi, I'm trying to set my 10.5 Leopard imac up as an FTP server. I couldn't get it to work at all until I used a standard user account instead of a sharing-only account. The standard account is not an administrator, and I have the guest account disabled. Now it is working, except the account can read my entire hard-drive (I haven't tried writing to it), even though it does not permissions for it in system preferences/sharing/file sharing. Can I not limit FTP to only some folders? I did delete the account's Public Folder, perhaps that had something to do with it? Cheer [/QUOTE]
