Hi,

In order to prevent an access for FTP user to directories other than his own, define the home directory as follows:
/home/ftp/./ftpuser:/bin/false

Hello,

If you need read-only access (as anonymous -or ftp- special account do), then you could use the ftpaccess in order to set up an guest group.

Basically you need to edit /etc/group to make a group let's say you call it ftponly

Second you need to assign the user/users to that group and in the last part you should modify the file "ftpaccess" (man ftpaccess ;you can find the file here:
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
) in order to add the line:

guestgroup ftponly

man ftpd

Look for "guest". There are some details,
if you want "ls" (LIST) to work.
