ftp access restriction

[kmuthu]

Hi,

I want to give ftp access to a login which can read only a specific directory and it should not access(read) any other directory in the system. Is it possible? If so how to do that?

Thanks in advance
Muthu

On *nix. Create a specific user for this ftp.
Then ensure that this users has only the required permissions to the relevant directories.

The process you are asking about is CHROOT do a google for it or check the man files of your version of ftp.

This is the normal (secure setup) for ftp

Sorry, I wasn't clear, which version of FTP server are you using, ProFTP, wu-ftp, etc. It all depends on the server version on how it's done.
