I'm not running server edition. This is just the standard Tiger 10.4 that
has a built in ftp server under system prefs, then sharing.

Subject: Re: ftp server issues still not resolved
Chris, I may not be of much help, but is this a standard installation,
the server edition, and have you checked to see if there is a list of
files or an access list? If there is not, that may be why your having
this issue. Of course if that is so, then you really need to let Apple
know since this would be a security violation/issue for sure.
Sorry, I didn't pay much attention to the thread since I don't mess with
any ftp servers any longer. Now reading your message, I'm quite curious.

I'm still having the same issue with my ftp server built into the o s.
When users try logging in, and btw, they are not! administrators, they
see their entire home dir sure, but, they see more than that so...
everything. I mean, they are getting read/ write to the root. they
could practicly wipe the whole system, not just my Tiger volume, but all
of them, being they can get to the volumes folder. Heck, they can see
/dev, /etc/ all of that is there.
why in the heavens is this. I thought if they logged in with their
account details, they'd be taken into their homedir and no further up.
I understand I may not be getting many responses on this as no one
really knows, but can someone at least try to help me? I'd rather get
possibly far fetched answers, than to get none as it seems I am.
