    for example, make a file using root user, when you create a ftp user like abc@abc.com, login with it in windows explorer, you will find that you can delete this file without any problem.... in other words, virtual ftp user(with domain name), made in cpanel, login with win explorer can delete any files on the server. the worst thing is, such a user can delete all .htaccess files on the server even though you change these files to premission 000.
    could anybody help me to solve it? or just is a bug of cpanel?
    thanks

    If the file is owned by root user, a normal FTP user can not delete/modify/move the file. I tested this on cPanel server, I could not delete the files owned by root. You will need to check further why you are able to delete root owned files using normal FTP user.

    hey Kailash1,
    sure, you can't delete it in a general ftp client, like flashfxp and so on. but when you login with windows exploror(visit ftp://user@yourdomain.com in windows exploror, fill your usr & passwd into the blank), you can delete it certainly. i try many times, actually you can delete any file with this method. could you please try as my method? thanks

    Permission on “/usr/bin/crontab” are wrong (4755). Please set to 4755.
