Matt- I had the same issue one time. I allowed anonymous to do everything (except execute) and someone hacked in and created a bunch of folders that I couldn't get rid of. That was just stupidity on my part. Other than that, Serv-U FTP seems pretty good. I'd really like to be able to afford and use the more expensive versions that allow ODBC integration for access control. That would be awesome for me to be able to create accounts on the fly in a database instead of screwing with the weird text files that serv-u uses for account creation/access.

As a side note, I installed a copy of Serv-U on my first dedicated box and, within 24 hours, I was hacked, with little folders everywhere holding a text file saying I was owned by Lord So-and-So. Once I pulled my head out of my butt, I realized I had set it up to allow anonymous ftp. Fixed my config and have never had an incident since. The point being that there can be any number of causes, which perhaps have nothing to do with the subject of the effect. And it sounds like the focus here has been on versions around 2.x. Serv-U is at 6,1 now. Its miles past the era in question. -- --mattRobertson-- Janitor, MSB Web Systems mysecretbase.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
