They'll be able to poke around and see your directory structure.

If that's a problem for you, falko has the solution, as usual:

Yes I tried both active and Passive modes. I also tried turning on shell access (although I don't know how that would help) and I tried secure FTP. I still got the same error.

You did enable FTP for that site?

Does athena.savy2k.net point to the right server?
Is /bin/false listed in /etc/shells?

You have to turn shell access on for the user also (for the sftp, not ftp)

I was just thinking--did you turn on ftp services at Management/Server/Services ? It should be on by default, but check and see--also you can see the status.

Yes I used both passive and active modes.

Falko, yes /bin/false is in /etc/shells

and yes athena.savy2k.net is the right server.

Which distribution are you using?

[savy2k]

Falko, I apologize for taking so long getting back to you.

I am using Fedora 9. I followed the perfect server instructions you wrote. You did a nice job I want to add.
This FTP issue is the last problem I seem to be having. I look forward to getting it resolved.

And as always, I am grateful
Randy
