Setting up vsftpd with users locked to specific directory

  • 772

I setup vsftpd, and changed the chroot settings in the vsftpd.conf file.

But how do I make a user able to access only /var/www/html/username_here/

I made the user with useradd, but what's next? Thanks :)

ftp vsftpd centos5

  1. Look at the chroot_local_user and local_root options: http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html

    You can also get really restrictive by specifying cmds_allowed

    Hope this helps.

  2. Edit your /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file and add a line that says

    chroot_local_users=YES

    then restart your vsftpd

    /sbin/service vsftpd restart

    This will restrict local users to their home directories.
