Hi,

I need to restrict access via ftp the users home area. Is this possible? how would I go about doing this?
Really stuck please help??
 
I'm using VSFTPD
 
In your vsftpd.conf file, there are two runtime configuration directives, chroot_list_enable and chroot_list_file.

If chroot_list_enable is set to "No", then users are not by default chrooted to their home directory, and the filename pointed to by chroot_list_file is a list of users that are chrooted.

If chroot_list_enable is set to "Yes", then all users are chrooted to their home directories and users in the chroot_list_file are the only ones who are not.

TANSTAAFL!!
 
Excellent thanks.
