How do hide file or directory in ftp?

As far as I know, it cannot be done with WU-FTPD or Darpa FTPD (the
daemons installed with most OSes)

There are a few commercial FTP daemons which might do it, but I never
could get them to work.

/home/owner/some_innocuous_dir/hidden_dir
cd /home/owner
chmod 700 some_innocuous_dir
chmod 700 hidden_dir

without x perms on the parent dir, nobody but the owner can list it.

1. Is there a way to hide files/directories and detect file access\?

Platform: IBM RISC6000 Running AIX3.2.3 and X11R4 (UNIX)

We're part of a LAN (Local Area Network). I'm looking for a way
to keep nosey people with ROOT access from snooping in my directories,
or at least to detect it when they do. Is there a way of hiding the existence
of files and directories? Is there a way of detecting when someone has
attempted to ls or cd or copy or edit or tar one of my files? I DO have
pgp, but I'd rather they didn't even suspect the EXISTENCE of a file, lest
they compel me to decrypt it...

Anyway, I know from the -w option of pgp that file info still exists even
when the file name is deleted, until the info is written over. Perhaps
some way of deleting the file/directory name while still protecting the
bytes from being overstorred...


get USENET (big brother's idea) :(

Thanks!
