I've got a CentOS release 6.5 with Webmin and configured ProFTPd 1.34.

I've put my users in a chroot jail. When they logon they are chrooted to their own home directory. But there is a problem when users want to create a directory using FTP. When they type /new_directory they get Permission denied, but if they type /home/user/new_directory directory is successfully created.

In proftpd.conf I have:

# Cause every FTP user except adm to be chrooted into their home directory
# Aliasing /etc/security/pam_env.conf into the chroot allows pam_env to
# work at session-end time (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/477120)
VRootEngine                     on
DefaultRoot                     ~ !adm
VRootAlias                      etc/security/pam_env.conf /etc/security/pam_env.conf

    I checked my configuration on Debian testing, I don't have the VRootEngine nor the VRootAlias directive and it works. I'm not sure you want the VRootAlias directive. Where do you have the permission denied? in a file in /var/log/proftpd/? in the console? – Manu H Oct 05 '14 at 14:45
  • Thank You. I removed VRootEngine from configuration and now everything is working. – sagittarius7 Oct 05 '14 at 16:02
