    Need some help please...

    Very new to this and need some help...

    I'm trying to setup user accounts on my server using Webmin...

    Each user I set up should only have access to their folder and any folder they create under theirs when they log into the server using SSH Putty...

    They shouldn't be able to change directories out of their own folder( eg. cd / )

    How can I do this???

    If you don't mind me asking, though - that seems like a rather strange request. Why wouldn't you want them cd'ing out of their home directories?

    I think he means cd'ing above their home directories.

    Yeah, that's what I meant as well. (Somehow I tend to consider subdirectories as being "inside" the home directory, even though I know that's wrong - that's probably why I wrote "out of")
