Proftp and multiple users

[gouranga]

What I want:
A users connects to the ftp-server and is automatically chrooted in his own homedir.
Is this possible with proftpd , and how?

I don't want the users to see the dirlisting of the home-folder, and having them to click their own folder.

You can do both.
The drawback to using chrooting is that you can never link to a folder outside their home dir (to give read access to other stuff, for example.)
It's really very simple: set the initial folder to something inside their home dir (like ~/ftp for example) and deny access from the root on down.
Then you follow the sample config to allow them to access their home dir.

Much more flexible than using chrooting.

A config example would be handy.

Nonono, don't use defaultroot!
At least, I don't use it, and you don't need it.
Use DefaultChDir to set an initial directory.
If you prohibit users from moving up through the directory tree like I said, you don't need (or want) a chroot.

Here is my config file.
The PASV transfer keeps doing nothing when defaultchdir is ~ of defaultroot is ~.
However, when I change it to /dir1/ everything is working.
