Restricting users on Red Hat wu-FTPd to home and child directories

[kkawano]

Hi All,

We are setting up a RedHat box with wu-FTPd and we pretty much have everything set up. The problem we are having is when users log into the system, they originally could navigate all the way back up to the root directory. So we did restrict them but now they can't transverse up or down. We want them to have the ability to transverse down to child directories. Any ideas???


Thanks,

Karl

I use Proftpd so I won't be much help. What you need to do is find out how to chroot (jail) your users to their home directories. With Proftpd, it's as simple as uncommenting the line:

DefaultRoot ~

You might want to look in your .conf file and see if their any clues in there. The name may be something like /etc/wu-ftp.conf. Another option is to use a GUI like webmin to help you configure all your servers and system in general. You can get it at
