Control ftp directory

hangyu — Mon, 09 Oct 2006 02:34:34 GMT

I want to create a new login ID and control this ID can ONLY access to a specify directory eg. /home/ftp_usr
But I found that the user can go other directory by "cd /tmp" or " .. " to go to top level , can advise how to disable the user run "cd" command ? thx.

You must chroot user in his home directory - but it depends on ftp server. What ftp server you have ?

cheers,

See http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html - section about chroot_list_enable. You can specify a list of users, who will be chrooted.
