Sorry, it's another Guest FTP question :-D

[Mandi]

I understand why the anonymous FTP account is out (whew, good thing too, it sounds like!!) I'd like to setup the guest/guest 2nd FTP account situation. I'm thinking of making a subdirectory of www that is called /ftp/ - since most browsers will allow ftp download (at least) with appropriate user/pass in the URL, will I ultimately be able to link to files with a line something like: ftp://mysite.com/ftp/download.txt?user=guest?pass=guest

Provided I've set up the 2nd FTP account to be restricted to /ftp/, will this keep the Nosy out of the rest of my site?

You may need to include "/big/dom/xdom/www" in front of "/ftp" though.

Provided I've set up the 2nd FTP account to be restricted to /ftp/, will this keep the Nosy out of the rest of my site? Yes, with the new FTP server there will be no way to access files not in the ftp directory.

I believe for IE it would look something like this:

ftp://xdom-username:password@domain.com/
