hi to all,
this is for neil but I figure that the list may want it to.
I am using proftd so those using other servers may need to read the manual that their
ftp server provides.
To prevent ftp users from roaming around the filesystem just add this line at the end
of /etc/proftd.conf (actually just modify the last commented line 8-)
DefaultRoot ~
this will effectively prevent users from changing to a directory higher than their
home directories. You can also change ~ to a directory that you want to be a
repository for uploads. there are other options to be used in the configuration but
since i dont have the time and the need then i recommend interested users to read the
Configuration.html. Mine is located at /usr/share/doc/proftpd-1.2.2.
