log in from a program

[anders75]

Hi,

I would like to learn how I could "hide" an ftp server directory so that the only one having access granted to that directory is the ftp client.

My idea is to let the program log in as a special user, which will be the only one having access to a certain ftp server directory. I must be absolutely sure that NOBODY else except the ftp client can do ANYTHING AT ALL on that server directory.

Do you have any tips for me?

Thanks,
Anders

Do you have access to the server console and what type of server (OS) is it?

I've tried that in the past :

I installed WarFTP,
it is running as 'System' on your server
Take away all NTFS rights on the directory; but leave SYSTEM with full control

then create WarFTP users.
When a FTP client logs on, he will have rights to the files;
but when you go locally to the machine, only SYSTEM has rights...
Is this what you're trying to do ? --------------------------------------------------------------------
