title: How to limit access to an FTP folder?
body: <p>I'm using a shared webserver on which I can manage FTP accounts.  I'm wondering how to set access restrictions a folder,</p>
  
  <p>Say I have a file in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>www.somepage.com/ftp/import/
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which is named <code>someData.txt</code></p>
  
  <p>Why is it that I can access this file by hitting:</p>
  
  <pre><code>www.somepage.com/ftp/import/someData.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If the file is just lying there, why make an FTP user with login/password to access it. If I check the file restrictions, public has <code>read/write/execute/sticky</code>, so I don't understand why I can just pull the fill by hitting it's URL.</p>
