Hi all,

I have centOS 6 installed on our Linode VPS server.
I have successfully installed FTP and created an FTP user.
However, the FTP user can view all the files on the server.
How can I restrict the FTP user to the files in a directory?

Currently, the user is sent straight to var/www/html (but this FTP user is able to view the other files on the server)
but I have created virtual hosts on the server and this FTP user should actually go to
/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs
And not be able to view the other files…
How can I achieve this?

(Here’s how I got to this point: I had added the user by doing: useradd -d /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs myftpuser
And then created and added myftpuser to /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list )

Thanks.

Look into the *_chroot_* options to control where a user is restricted to after login, and if desired, combine that with per user configuration files (via user_config_dir) to set local_root individually per user.
