set 'root' for users to their home?
I know that some UNIX ftp servers allow you to set a user's 'root' to any directory, effectively making it so that they cannot go higher in the directory tree than that point. Setting this to a user's home directory for ftp access would keep them from getting anywhere else on the system. I can't find the config files for the ftp services built into X to see if this can be done, so I'm asking if anyone else might know where to look. Or if this sparks someone's memory, it'd be great.
chroot looks like what you need
chroot is a command-line tool to change a user's root directory to any directory you want. I'm not sure how it would conflict with existing users and access through non-FTP protocols. I'd suggest making an 'anonymous' user (set up however you would do so with FTP), then chroot them to a secured directory, or to their home.<br> |
