Re: Further Clarification, RE: IFS directory visibility from FTP

I see your point.  The problem is that most file systems do not block
access.  *public has access to lots of directories.  Using the ftp server
is one more layer of trying to fix that.  Granted, perhaps it goes above
trying to fix that on the ftp server basis and fix it on the file level
basis itself.  Fixing it on the ftp server basis just allows you to
implement it more gradually.

> But my point was, your denial only works if they use your FTP client.

No, the file system itself denies access. All I'm interested in is
cleaning up the user interface, by making the inaccessible invisible.
THAT'S ALL! NOTHING ELSE!
