I'm trying to set up ftp (wuFTP) in Webmin to allow webmasters to access their site but I can't seem to figure out how to allow non-anonymous users access. I've searched the web and can't seem to find any good information on the subject. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
create a user and point their home dir to the webserver directory.


another way :
create the user
edit the /etc/passwd file
you'll notice that one of values is the home directory..
just edit this value
 
Ok. I've got it working pretty well now. The thing now is that if I try to use ws_ftp or a browser to view the directory, it doesn't show anything. But if I use a command prompt I can ls and it sees everything. I know that wuftp on some OS's has a problem with ls so I don't know if it's a similar problem or something diferent since ls seems to be working.
 
That still does the same thing. I can get in no problem. It just doesn't list any of the contents once I'm in.
