Why would you need to restrict write permissions? That seems odd.

Totally agree with C, it's the safest route.

Wait, can you really prevent listing just by changing permissions?

I think A could work too, but not as secure.

I thought it was just about not allowing execute permission, but now I'm questioning if read is also necessary.

I feel like option C makes the most sense, but I can't recall if there was something specific about not having read permission.

I remember a practice question about FTP permissions, and I think we had to set both read and execute to prevent listing.

I think the key is to restrict permissions, but I'm not sure if it's just read or if execute matters too.

Okay, I've got it - the answer is D, the directory must not have the write permission set. That way, anonymous users can't list the file names.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. I'll have to think it through carefully. Maybe Incident Management would be the best answer?

This is a classic FTP security question. Option C is the way to go, no doubt about it. Who needs to see those file names anyway?

Hmm, I'm not so sure. Option E sounds kind of interesting - no other directories in the upload folder? That's a new one to me!

I'd go with option B. Denying read access to the directory should hide the file names from anonymous FTP users.

Yes, that makes sense. It's important to restrict access to prevent unauthorized users from viewing sensitive information.

Option C seems the most logical choice to prevent anonymous FTP users from listing uploaded file names. Removing both read and execute permissions would do the trick.

But if the directory has execute permission, users can still list the files. That's why I think C is the correct answer.

I disagree, I believe the answer is A) The directory must not have the execute permission set.
