Thanks all, I just added DefaultRoot ~ in the proftpd.conf - now I cant
browse into important areas :)

I take it I must now do the same to now protect a user from using a dubious
perl/php script under their webmin account. To stop users uploading a file
manager like script that they can use to browse into important areas that
should not be seen by a user? or what I have already set via the proftp.conf
is also going to protect me from this kind of dubious script also?

Jeff,
