I am testing edtFTPnet/Express to use in a client's application. One of the requirements is to restrict access to certain folders; in particular I need to keep the user from being able to move above the starting directory. I thought that I could do this by setting ShowParentDirEllipsis on the LocalFileList control to False, but that doesn't seem to work. I have tried setting it in design mode and in code (in the form Load event and in the LocalDirectoryChanged and LocalDirectoryChanging events for the connection) but the parent directory icon still appears in the control when loaded and is still functional. Is there some other setting I need to change as well to get this to work?

Thanks for your help!

Additional Info: I just tried setting ShowDirectories to False and that seems to remove the the Parent directory icon, whether or not the ShowParentDirEllipsis is true or false.

ShowParentDirEllipsis is only meant to show (or not) the ellipsis in the listing (..)
