All,

I have configured the FTP to restrict users to the directories they  
have logged in.  The previous configuration allowed users to change  
to any directory other than the login directory, which is a security  
hole.  Now, if you cd outside of the login directory tree, you will  
not be able to.

In short, if you download files located in the login directory tree,  
you should not see any difference except that pwd will show '/',  
which is the top directory for the user.  Just change to the  
directories relative to the top of the user directory.
