Re: How to restrict users from serfing around my server via FTP.



Hi.

Let me explain several things...
First of all, thanks to all those who reply to my question :-).
Secound, I know how to do it in WU-FTPD with anonftp configuration, and it
works ok.
BUT !, the configuration can work in GOOD way only on little amount of
users. this is becouse you need to copy the etc,lib and bin directories from
the anonftp root to each and evry user.
i tried to use symbolic links but as i can recall it didn't work.

My question was how to do the same thing , User will NOT be able to view
other directories other then their own home directory and will not be able
to "travel" to other dirs.
In other words, the users directory will be his root directory, without the
use of anonftp and the etc,bin and lib dirs that need to be copied to it.

Thanks,

Mike
