"read access"
Is there some special meaning of that term in the FTP protocol that's
separate from the meaning implied by an FTP server running on a system
with unix-like filesystem semantics?
Filesystem read access on intermediate directories is _not_ required --
only search (i.e. 'x') access, at least not for any ftpd that just does
chdir(2) on any unix-like filesystem.
