Ok, I finaly found some info.
I hope it helps.
Simple Locked Dir
*NOTE: In this section all directory names can be replaced with whatever you want unless otherwise specified. The spaces are what's important, not the folder names.
A simple locked directory is easily defeated but with a lot of them it can make getting into further directories a hassle and many will give up easily. In the directory you want to setup a locked folder right click and select "Make Folder." In the dialog box type the following:
locked[sp]/[sp]/
Now we have a locked directory, if you try to enter it the server will spit out some sort of error message, usually "550 The system cannot find the file specified." To access a locked dir we need to make a higher level directory which is done by making another new folder as follows:
locked[sp]/access
Notice that we did not use the second space when creating the second dir, that is because that is a placeholder and is what actually locks the folder. It is not part of the actual directory structure of the pub. To get inside your new directory you simple add the following to the directory path at the top of the window in FlashFXP:
locked[sp]/access
You will now be inside your locked folder and should have no problems creating more directories or uploading files. If it cannot find the directory you either have a weird pub or did something wrong. Try the procedure again and look for error messages in the status window. Some NT pubs do not allow the creation of locked dirs of this type. Also it is bad idea to make a locked folder in the root of a pub because the sysop will easily find it and probably notice his security holes and fix them (no more pub for you).
If you would like to remove this directory there is a special procedure for doing this. Notice if you simply hit del on it the server will have problems accessing the directory. To remove it we need to manually put the RMD commands in ourselves. From the base directory (where you started creating the locked folder) select Commands -> Raw Commands from the menu bar and put the following in the dialog box:
rmd locked[sp]/access
That should remove the second folder we made and to remove the locked folder put in:
rmd locked[sp]/[sp]/
Now if you refresh the server window the folder should be gone. Again if it did not work try it again and watch for errors, some servers do not allow the removal of directories. Now that you know how to create a basic locked folder we can move on some more advanced techniques.
Enjoy.

Thanks for the info.
