ftp question

[Etherphyte]

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me how to restrict a specific directory so no ftp users can get into it? The issue is any ftp user other than anonymous can navigate to my /mount directory, and I don't want that. How do I set it so they can't get into /mount?
Thanks,
Ad

I don't know but you might reading the manuals and stuff. The idea sounds really familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

it does sound familiar. i think it got to do with setting up a "guest user" and a "real user" i think the guest user will restrict the user to assigned directory. i'm not quite sure

Check out the man page for "ftpaccess". This file should be in /etc/. You can restrict a non anonymous to having access only to their home directory.

I use proftpd (I highly recommend this *****) and I put: "DefaultRoot ~" in the config file. Hope this helps you a bit
