Removing Directories

Hi there, 1. I have removed the cgi-bin directory a number of times and it shows back up under public_html as soon I SSH back in as a user. I have unchecked "CGI Privilege" under Account Functions " Modify an Account, I have unchecked "CGI Access" under Packages " Edit a Package, I have unchecked everything with "CGI" in the name under Packages " Feature Manager. 2. I don't allow Anonymous FTP. Is it safe to remove the public_ftp directory under /root/cpanel3-skel? Is it OK to remove existing public_ftp directories from existing user accounts? Will it mysteriously show back up after deleting it like cgi-bin? Thanks a bunch for your help! - cmo

  In /etc/bashrc there is: if [ ! -e ~/public_html/cgi-bin ]; then mkdir -p ~/public_html/cgi-bin fi if [ ! -e ~/public_ftp ]; then mkdir -p ~/public_ftp fi
  That code checks if directories /home/CPANELUSERNAME/public_html/cgi_bin and /home/CPANELUSERNAME/public_ftp exist and if not creates them. I suppose you could comment out those lines.

  Hello :) The "public_ftp" directory is not required, so you can delete it if you have no plans to use it. See the above post regarding the creation of that directory. Thank you.
