    Hello all,

    My second concern has been resolved through a message in the archives of
    this list.... here is the solution to that ...

    "in vsftpd.conf, u can use these options:

    chroot_list_enable=YES
    chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
    local_root=/var/ftp

    what will these do? if user1 is in the vsftp.chroot_list, he will be
    chrooted to /var/ftp when he ftps to your machine. If user2 is not
    in the chroot list and he makes an ftp connection, the default
    directory will be /var/ftp but he can still cd into his home directory
    (ie cd /home/user2)"

    -----------

    Now, something new is in my mind. There is one user, to whom I have given
    FTP access, I want her not to ssh(telnet) into my system using that user
    id/passwd. What is the easiest method to do that ...

    This may be a simple question, but I am new to linux.

    Thanks in advance,

    Yasir.

    Dear All,

    I've setup vsftpd on my RH Linux 8.0 box. I've some questions I want to
    ask...

    Problem 1:
    ~~~~~~~~~~
    When I connect to my FTP Server I get the following messages:

    257 "/home/rj"
    TYPE A
    200 ASCII tastes bad, dude.
    PORT 193,1,1,99,8,3
    200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV.
    LIST
    150 Here comes the directory listing.

    After this " Here comes the directory listing" message the directory listing
    comes after sooo long ... its seems to me the server is in some sort of
    trouble ... can anybuddy guide me ??

    Second Concern:
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    I want to setup a default directory for example /Movies as FTP root
    directory instead of the respective user's home directory. What I must do in
    this case ???

    one more thing ... the user is able to browse the upper level directories
    than her home directory. What I must do to restrict this ??

    thanks in advance,

    Yasir.
