Deny access to folder?

Is it possible to deny a user access to a folder that is shared on the FTP-server?

I know that I can deny file-access but they can still list and see the content of a folder.
I also know that you can make a folder invisible, by unclick the "list"-option in shared folders,
but this does not deny access. You can still manually go to the unlisted folder when logged
in to the server..

For example, I share
d:\ftp
in the ftp folder I have the following folders:
Documents
Backup
If I make Backup unlisted for the user, it can still still access this folder by typing it in in e.g. Filezilla FTP client.

Is it possible to really deny access to a shared folder, exactly like you can deny access to read files, listed or unlisted.?

Thanks for a really good software!

EDIT: Tested again and now I saw that I wasn't able to access the unlisted folder.. Strange.. I'm sure I was able to do that yesterday..

Anyway, thanks again for a great software! :)

You probably got a cached listing. Restart the client to flush the cache.
