 |
|
Hey everybody.
I'm going to be hosting a photo server for my coworker and therefore I needed to install an FTP server. I chose VSFTPD because of its simplicity and supposed "very secure" nature.
I installed the server with...
I then made my changes to the default "/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf.example" file, copied it to "/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf"
and then started the server and added it to startup with...
| Code: |
/etc/init.d/vsftpd start
rc-update add vsftpd default
|
I created my ftp user and tested and I can create files/folders in their directory and so on. However I then typed
and hit enter and it let me complete the command and changed my current working directory. I DO NOT want this. I want the user that logs in to be jailed to their home directory of /home/*username*. Anybody know of a way I can do this? Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. If you also know of a way to control what users can FTP in that would help as well.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
David

*bump* Anybody? I really would like to get this server hardened a bit more but the documentation doesn't explain it well enough for me :S
Thanks in advance,

I advice you to read this, it may seem like a pretty basic ftp server, but its in fact pretty powerfull

For your question look at "chroot_***" |

Thanks guys, this is exaactly what I needed to see!
I was opening the man page of vsftpd itself.
Which obviously didn't give me the info I needed.
Thanks again,
- Dave

Just a hint: *always* scroll at the bottom of a manpage - there you'll find most of the times some usefull to related man-pages ...
