Virtualmin Chroot FTP Users

Question

Can someone tell me how to chroot FTP users with Virtualmin, if it is possible.

This question appears to be off-topic because it is about [`working with a service provider's management interface, such as cPanel`](http://serverfault.com/help/on-topic). — HopelessN00b, Jan 14 '15 at 01:27

What you want is not actually a chroot. You want the DefaultRoot setting in ProFTPd.

You can set that in Virtualmin by browsing to Webmin>Servers>ProFTPd Server>Files and Directories, and set the option labeled "Limit users to directories" to "Home directory". Save it, and click "Apply changes" in the upper right corner.
