Komodo Edit, version 5.1.0, build 3284, platform macosx-x86.

Recently my ISP changed default permissions settings on all servers:
I have changed the permissions on /usr/www/users to allow you to
view the contents of it. As it is new ##### Networks policy to
not have that ability, it is possible that the permissions on
that directory might be changed back automatically by the
system.

I am informed that the system automatically changes permissions back in accordance with the new policy and an exception cannot be made, even though I have a "dedicated" server.

Unfortunately, the permissions on the /usr/www/users/ and /usr/home/
directories can not be changed. These are being set on all servers
automatically in the back-end system. If we manually change them, they
will just be changed back to secure mode.

That said, the permissions should not prevent access to your account files
if 'public_html' is used at the path instead of browsing down to / and then
into www/users/myimpact. The only time a directory listing should be
denied is if the FTP client is trying to do a listing of /usr/www/users/ or
/usr/home/. You may wish to check with Komodo FTP support to see if there is a way of turning off directory listing on directories that it is
traversing through, and only have it check the current directory.
Otherwise, you may want to try a different FTP client, as most should work fine under the current permission setup.

Result being that regardless of the path and settings I use I get either
Cannot change directory: -or- Error: '553 Permission denied.'

Oddly I CAN access files in the /usr/wwws/users/ path!

Ideas, PLEASE!?
TIA,
