Configuring vsFTPd

[frummel]

Hi there,

I have a RedHat 8.0 Webserver. I also have an FTP-server installed. But there's a problem. I want to acces my server thru FTP. I log on from my Win2k machine, and I get access to my FTP-server. The directory I automatically go to is: /var/ftp. I would like to change this to /var/www, because that's the directory Apache sets as Document root.
(I don't want to change the document root of Apache to /var/ftp...)

I checked vsftpd.conf, to change the rootdir, but there seems no option to do so.

Does anyone know how I can get this changed?

Having never used vsftpd, I'm assuming that it's using the home directory by default. Try creating a new user with this command:

useradd -d /var/[URL unfurl="true"]www ftpuser[/URL]
passwd ftpuser
