The File Manager is located within your account Control Panel
and can be used to set read/write permissions on files and directories
within your website.
To inhibit access to specific directories within your website
from anonymous FTP visitors, you need to set public read access
OFF for each of these directories. This will prevent anonymous
visitors from being able to download files within such a directory.
This does NOT affect web access.
First locate the desired directory name within
the File Manager. In the following example, the directory named "HTML" is
set to public read access ON:
Although the File Manager can be used to inhibit access to other
files within the root directory of your website as well, setting
public read access OFF does not remove file names from the FTP
directory/file listing. To remove files from the root listing,
you can move all HTML files with the exception of the main home
page (ie. index.htm) to a subdirectory and set public read access
OFF for the entire subdirectory. Do NOT move system files such
as .forward and .procmailrc .
