Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : Hosting Security and Technology : ProFTPD Question

[blazenet]

Hello,

After reading some posts here, I found out you people liked ProFTPD ... And so, I got rid of WuFTPD, and installed the ProFTPD RPM. Was quite easy, it's running now.

Now, my question is, how can I make the maximum allowed directory to browse for a FTP user, /home/hisaccount/ ? So actually, when he login he sees / , instead of /home/hisaccount/ . I have seen this quite a lot of times, I just don't know how to do this.

Thanks in advance,

Grab one of the latest rpm off of ftp://cpanel.net/proftpd/ It is already setup that way, and has a patch for the file corruption bug :-)

You mean the file corruption bug-path is included with the RPM?

If that doesn't work, simply put this line into your configuration file:

DefaultRoot ~

That will mean anyone who logs in will be restricted to their home directory.
