Hey I need a ftp program for linux that i can EASILY setup a new account or user that allows a client to FTP into only one folder, and not be able to go mess around in a folder above that one... any suggestions? Thanks in advance :D

try out
www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3 and
www.zcu.cz/ftp/pub/linux/debian/

those links didnt work :bawling:

ncftpd

ProFTP is nice. It has an apache-like configuration file, will restrict users to their home directory, and has several options for authentication.

yes i actually am using proftp right now, but i didnt know you could create virtual users?

If you setup your users correctly then all you have to do is put this in the proftpd.conf file:


DefaultRoot ~

Then they can't go above their home directory.
