vsftpd 1

[axman505]

does anyone know how to configure vsftpd so users cannot browse outside of their home directory?

you could change file permissions across the system to 700 (owner: read/write/execute; groups: no access; users: no access).

of course, root will ALWAYS have access to the files, irrelevant of these permissions.

Sure, do the following:

1) cd /etc/vsftpd
2) vi vsftpd.conf
3) Uncomment chroot_list_enable=YES
4) Insert chroot_local_user=NO below that
5) Uncomment chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
6) Create a list in /etc of the names you want restricted to their home directories and name it vsftpd.chroot_list


This should be what you are asking for...

Oh and one other thing, make sure you stop and start the vsftp daemon as well. If you are on Redhat, it is simply:

# service vsftpd stop
# service vsftpd start
