Evening,

What permission do I need to set so that only my FTP logon ID can read / write to a particular folder and subfolders?

It's hosted on a Linux server so I assume it's a CHMOD level but I'm not sure what to set the level to.

I think I just need to check the owner boxes and leave the Group and Public blank...

Anybody confirm this is correct?

Thanks

Lee

Edit: I'm using SmartFTP as the FTP client - CHMOD contains has the Owner column set as User - think that's what confused me!

Edit 2: In the User column - there's a tick box UID - what's that for??
