Hy

I'm planning to give some persons some limited ftp accounts on specific folders on my public html folder on a basic hosting plan.

Regarding this I'd have a security question. I want that a ftp users have permission only to reach their own folder (which is given to him) and I want them not to reach other folders, neither the root folder.

But there is a way of creating symlinks with php file that includes:

<?php
symlink("..","up");
?>

Using this code it is possible to create a symlink to upper folder and even to the root folder from a limited ftp account.

Is there a way I can prevent or disable symlink php function on a specific folder and so disallow limited ftp users to reach upper or any other folders simply by making symlinks.


Thanks for your answer.
