the permissions look fine, but im not 100% sure what is going to be visible to anyone else in this particular directory.

Id suggest logging in as a guest rather than as an admin, and put the settings thru thier paces. Try to do what you want guests to accomplish and see if the FTP experience from that perspective is user friendly. Try to do what you DONT want guests to do while logged in as guest and see how your permissions hold up. Log in as a guest, upload something, then log off, relog on as a guest and try to manipulate the last upload, then try to access forbidden areas of the server.

Basically, riot around a little in the name of science ;)

Feel free to send me a private email if you need another remote tester, as well.

Logan OOPS forgot to mention: Servers will execute thier permissions based only on username/account and the settings assigned to that account by the sysadmin. There is never a consideration by the server as to what IP addy any account is logging on from. The IP is written to the server log along with time of access and actions taken when anyone logs on, but this is just so admins can go back and research incidents on the server.
