Re: RDS and file browsing
this is the one thing I've always disliked about RDS. I wish they would add a security model to it. user Joe Strummer has access to this dir only, user Henry Rollins has access to everything, etc... As Dave says, you can run CF under a user account that limits access somewhat. We run cfmx under a user account in teh Users group in Winblows, they can see everything on the server, but can't mod system files.

However, since RDS runs within the context of the CF service (assuming you're using CFMX) you can run that service with a user account, and limit the rights of that account to the filesystem as you see fit as long as you allow it the minimum set of permissions to the files and directories it needs to run.
