I created an FTP account for a user, to give him access to a specific folder, but I don’t want him to access subfolders.
Is that possible?

On the cPanel documentation I only found the following statement, but it doesn’t help so much:

Specify the FTP account’s home directory.

The Directory field defines
the top level of directory access that
will be granted to the new account.
For example, an account with a
Directory assignment of /$dir will not
be allowed to access the / (root)
directory; however, it will be able to
access /$dir and all of its
subfolders.

    You can set the directory permissions using any FTP program like FileZilla FTP, browse to the folder, right click on it and set the permissions using the permissions menu.
