Ability to list files inside a directory

Post by woody »

Shouldn't I be able to turn off the "list" attribute to have users be able to access and upload to a directory yet not be able to see the other contents of the directory? I have a directroy that I want all users to be able to upload to and only one user to be able to see what is in the directory and download. When I uncheck the list attribute on any user, the user loses all access to that directroy...

Hi,Woody

I have tested it what's you said, it has no problem!
You just need to check on the "Write" option, then you can upload files but can not see anything.

Well that's bothersome...

Here's my settings for the folder in question

Here's what I get if I try to use IE8

WinSCP

The server is on a fresh load of Windows 2000 professional SP4 fully patched.
If I check the "list" box, everything works just fine....
Plans are to purchase your product to replace some older FTP and SFTP servers we have here but I need to get this fixed before I can commit. Or if you're sure we can fix it, I buy it and we can work on it afterwards...

OK, i see. The issue is that, when your virtual directory has no list permission, you can not change to that directory.
So we decide to fix this issue with next release version.
