    Hi Ben!
    In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf specify
    chroot_local_user=YES

    and comment
    #anonymous_enable=YES

    Then to bind user to his home directory
    In /etc/passwd

    mosherben:x:800:800::/var/www:/bin/bash
    pectabyte:x:801:801::/var/www/pectaybte:/bin/bash

    Then in the bash execute
    chmod 777 -R /var/www/pectaybte
    chown pectabyte:pectabyte -R /var/www/pectaybte

    that's it

    Subject: FTP server

    Hi,
    ok I installed the vsftpd which came with RH9. Anyhows I know the config
    file is in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf but how do I configure it to be
    multi-users with no anonymous access. This is only for a friend and myself
    to use. I have created our usernames and passwords but how to choose what
    directories we have access to?

    I want my account (mosherben) to access /var/www/ for complete control of
    the FTP server and service so I can change the permissions of a subfolder
    using an FTP client if I dont like something I see in one of the folders.

    I want my friends account (pectabyte) to access /var/www/pectaybte to
    control his area of the FTP service.

    Both accounts need full permissions (7). Can someone help me figure the
    configuration out?

    Thanks,
    Ben

    PS: I havnt updated any packages yet using up2date before someone asks.
