I have a public ftp site and I was wondering is there something like .htaccess for ftp that can control file permissions on the ftp site?

Just do a chmod...that should effectively block access to certain portions...
What FTP server are you using... a lot also have other ways of blocking access to certain directories, and make some password protected...obvioulsy chmod wont allow you to password protect a directory...
So it all depends on what server you are using...

Thanx. I'm using the ftp that I get for free from my domain hosting.
Oh in that case:
1. If you just wanted to restrict DIRs, then use chmod
2. If you want password protected DIRs, you will have to ask the host to create a new FTP account for you...most have a small fee for extra FTP accounts...
3. Most hosts will have a public anonymous FTP that will allow uploads and downloads in a restricted DIR. Ask you host if they support that...
Hope that helps
