I configured my FTP server. I would like to give users access to certain folders. I don't want one user to be able to see someone else folder or other folders in the ftproot folder when they login to the ftp site. Is there a step by step article to do this or how can i do it?

it will depend on what FTP program you are using but you will need to set up these permissions/folders within your FTP program.

In IIS ftp, you can not limit the listing of folders in the ftproot folder. What you can do is set security on each folder, so people can access only what they need.

In IIS ftp though, if a user has a foldername in the ftproot equal to thier username, the ftp session will start them in thier username folder. But they can still back track and see the ftproot folder.

download and install warftp deamon. its the best free ftp server around. With this you can specifically tell it what folders a user or group can see. It can run as an application or as a service.
