[Xitami] disabling ftp-root

[Rick Headly]

hi,

i've been using xitami for a few years, to host a number of
independently-owned sites and domains for others, in various locations
around the globe.  each web-masters on the service, simply supplies their
user-name/password combo to log directly into their designated web-directory
(via xitami's ftp) to edit or make changes to their site.  this all seems to
work very well.

my problem, is that some of these web-masters (upon supplying an incorrect
password) report finding themselves logged into the ftp-root...
anonymously... and get confused because they can't find their files.

i would like to completely disable anonymous logins (and the ftp
root) altogether, as i'm only interested in supplying ftp-service to my
authorized web-masters... and only if they've supplied a valid user-name and
password.

i simply don't want to be providing bandwidth or resources, or handling
ftp-connections for just any tom, dick, or harry-bot, who happens to hit me
on port-21.  i see it as a security threat.  i would prefer if xitami-ftp
simply did not respond to anyone without a user-name and password... because
they aren't supposed to be there to begin with.

is it possible to 'disable' the ftp-root in such a manner?

if so, i'd really appreciate a few pointers in tweaking up my config.

thanks!

rick
