to upload or change information, and to prevent denial of service
attacks or other attacks intended to cause damage. Unauthorized
modification of any information stored on this system may result
in criminal prosecution.

have been granted limited FTP access to areas of our the Web servers
that host our Web site for the purpose of updating other
Web sites hosted on the same servers. That limited access allows

the server or compromise its operation or security) is reserved exclusively
