Great , thanks glenn

thanks glen, i am sorry if i am being a pain in the a$$. i followed the steps, it does create the directory under public_html, i am able to login, but i can not switch to that directory.

so what the public_ftp directory serves ? wierd thing, it does create the directory for me when i create a new ftp account, but when i access it using smart ftp, i get error "can't switch to that directory cause it doesn't exists"

i see where the problem is, when i go to create new ftp accounts, the default dir path is: "home/tbitayyt/public_html" instead of "home/tbitayyt/public_ftp" why is that ? shay

thanks glenn, well that spartialy works :-), i am able to connect, but i see the entire hirarchy, i do not want users to have access to all my files, only to one directory, basically the ftp directory. how do i do that ?

it doesn't work with smart ftp as well, i can connect using anonymous (which i do not want), but i am unable to see the files in there

i did create a new username and pasword, kept only '/' instead of the automatic name. when i got to ftp://mysite.com i get a folder "Incoming" (no username or password yet), open "incomming" and try to copy something into that folder, i am getting the following error: "An error occured copying a file to FTP server, make sure you have permission to put files on the server details: 200 Type ... 200 Port... 553 Anonymous user may not overwrite existing files" seems like it thinks i am anonymous user

well i chose the "FTP Accounts" from my "FTP Management" all i see is this: "When logging into the ftp server please use the username exactly as it appears below. If the username includes a "@", make sure to include it when logging in. Example: Use "john@doe.org" and not "john"." and then a list of 4 Main Accounts, but i do not have any username or password, and i can not change them. i have the option of "Add FTP Account" but that creates a new directory for me.

just ID and password, basically avoind anonymous users to access my ftp. only assigned usename and password will have access thanks Shay
