I've just tried it out... and there are a few problems.

When trying to do a DIR the user gets a 550 ACCESS DENIED message, and 
the same when CDing around directorys !

However when they use the PUT command it works.

STRANGE !

If anyone can suggets why, please say !

my FTPUSERS file follows:

ftp * H:\pub\ 7

is there another access level that allows DIR and CD commands to be 
used ???

Thanks in advance !
