Hi everybody,
Thanks for replying to my query, I have created an FTP only user.I want
one more help,
I have set the home directory of the user to /home/httpd/username when
ftp-ing with this user name the current directory is displayed as it is
ie.,/home/httpd/username.I have seen systems where the home directory will
be displayed only as / .Can anybody tell me how to do that.
Thanks & regards,
senthil.
