I want to serve a simple little web page, and create a FTP drop box..... without leaving my machine wide open.
I've just tried to set up the web sharing and FTP access on my 10.2.8 machine, and it couldn't have been easier. I poked a whole through the linux firewall that lives between us and the outside world, create a new OSx user account with no admin rights, switched on web sharing and ftp access.... job done. Or at least it should have been.
Then i tested it on a shonky old PC, and to my amazement (and abject horror!) i realized that my whole machine was wide open!! Obviousy, I've switched off the web and FTP access for now, but surely this shouldn't be the case?
Has anybody else managed to sort it out? Is Panther any better? Or, have i just failed to find the button that stops access to every folder on my machine?
