Hi Jim,

Thanks for your response.

So, if the file in the parent directory has the following permission (755)

say

-rwxr-xr-x 1 admin apps 2 Nov 20 03:25 a.txt

The FTP account should be able to navigate back up to dir1 and read this file. Right?

Also, thanks for your tips on avoiding the use of /usr path for giving FTP access.

I'll keep that in mind.
