Hello, I'm trying to restrict an ftp user to a particular directory. I've written an ftpchroot file, as follows: Username /var/spool/ftp/ ./Username/photos After I write the file and restart inetd, I am not able to login to ftp with this user account at all. I have RTFM and evidently don't get it... Thanks in advance for any and all suggestions. Denny
Maybe you're trying to do something more complicated than I am, but I have ftpchroot working. My /etc/ftpchroot file just consists of a list of usernames, one per line. This effectively restricts the ftp user to his/her home directory on the server (the home directory, of course, is owned by the user in question). On your system does the user own the directory you are trying to ftpchroot him in? Perhaps that is a requirement...
