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 web site.

To inhibit access to specific directories within your web site 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 web site 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 (i.e. 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 .

*** Important ***
If you enable public write access (PW) for any file while ANON FTP access is enabled, visitors can overwrite related files.
