Hi, There,
We setup a ftp site on windows 2000 SP4 server with hundred of sub-folder in
side, and also support Aynonymous access.
Now anyone get the ftp ulr can login the ftp site from IE and view all the
data in the ftp site, however, we don't want that, we would like to diable
the direct access from IE, and disable browse root directory from a given
URL link or possible any other ftp client software, only does this can be
achieved? If yes, how? And if not possible, any other software can support
that?

Thanks for any advice!

For W2k, you don't have user folder lock down feature.
Instead - typically you control access via NTFS.
say ftproot -> c:\users\
user1 -> c:\users\user1
user2 -> c:\users\user2 .. etc

For NTFS permissions -
user1 -> c:\users\user1 : user1 R&W, system FC, admin FC (if needed)
since user2 doesn't has permissions over user1 folder. he/she won't be able
to access it.

Next, though user can't access. if user 'cd ..' goto ftproot and dir
listing, all folders will be listed.
the only way to hide this is via virtual directory.

ftproot -> c:\dummy\
then for each user create a virtual directoy in the FTP site
and map to the respective user folder
