Hi all,
I'm on OS X.3.3 (not server), and I'm looking for a safe way to allow a
"guest" to FTP into my machine (with password), to "drop off" files for
me.
So, I set up a new user "visitor" via System Preferences, and "locked
it down" to a simple finder with no apps/utilities/etc.
My hope would be that this user could FTP in, but would not have access
to files outside of /Users/visitor/ at all, or perhaps access to
/Users/*/Public/Drop Box.
However, when I ftp in over my LAN as visitor, I'm given full reign of
the machine. For example, I can go to /Users/justin/Documents/ and
take anything I want. Not good.
So, how can I lock down visitor? Or should I be using "guest" or
something else? Surely I'm missing something pretty simple!
I'd prefer to do all this via a GUI if possible, rather than by CLI,
but CLI is better than nothing!
