RE: How Secure is Windows, Really?

It has been pointed out to me that my ftp exit point has a bug.  I check 
the first few characters.  For example I will only allow you to change 
directory into certain directories.  However, someone pointed out a common 
error.  What about cd 
/ToDirectoryThatRobInsistsUpon/../TheOneThatTheSneakyBastardWantsInto

Other common errors?  How about the traditional web hack that someone puts 
up a search screen that prompts you for certain values?  And then passes 
those values via URL.  Then the hack is that you can manipulate how the 
search data is represented in that url to darn near perform an entirely 
different SQL statement.
