restrict ftp access

[William Pribble]

I want to be able to restrict a user to ftp files to and from a specific directory. what is the best way to accomplish this?

Thanks

Using permissions. Do not allow that user access to that specific directory. Read or write.

Hi Elaine,

I think this thread should cover what you need:

Hi Elaine:

You could create a directory for the user and set the permissions to 700 or 600. This would only allow the owner and root read and write access to the dir.

You can do a man ftpaccesss to set the ftp , or you amy like to do it the wuftp way.

Hello.

In case you want for your use(s) to see only particular directory and nothing else - configure annonymous ftp user. This will present for instance /secure/ftp as a / for your user and he won't be able to go up from it, only donw.

In case you want to have personalized ftp and still have permissions, well chmod 700 sounds like a good plan.

Hope this help.
