Setting up vsftpd with users locked to specific directory

Question

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 :)

Answer 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.

Cheers

Answer 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.
