I'm setting up an OS X Server (not OS X public beta) to run web services. It's all running fine with one exception: I want my users to FTP their files to their folders, but no matter what I do, their FTP client allows them to see the UNIX system files (which are on a separate disk). Does anyone know how to turn off read access on the system files? Anything I do in the Inspector to alter access or attributes for the disk with the system seems to just make the web pages unviewable (giving a Forbidden error).

Any help will be appreciated.

As far as I know you can't specify that the user cannot see system files when using ftp.

You could use the chmod command from the terminal to prevent user ftp from viewing directories above the home dir.
