vsftpd configure separate (non home) folder for users

[forvak]

I would like to configure vsftpd so that:

The user: webadmin can read and write to /www and all files and folders in it

The user: backup can read and write /backup and all files and folders in it

I know how to send each user to their home directory and lock them there, but not to a custom folder and prevent access to anywhere else.

Thank you very much!

i would have to check, but I believe you could do this...

when you adduser, you can specify the home directory, it is a liux command line. I do not know about control panel options.

vsftpd has a config that chroots(sort of) users into their home directories.

in vsftp conf file

local_enable=YES (allows local users to log in)
chroot_local_user=YES (pretty much does it)
write_enable=YES

two of these commands you probably already have there.
The other, the chroot command, is special.
I have not tried it out side of the home directories as that is my users directories...however, I would assume that it is keyed to the user's home directory that the user actually goes to, not /home/user....

Should work fine.


Now if using acontrol panel....well.....better check on that site first as they are a bit screwey
