Hi,

I recently rented an Ded. Server. (Linux > Debian)

I need some help / info on FTP User Permissions.

How can I setup an FTP User in such a way that he only is able to look at the Home directory.

This link above is the ftp directory in Smartftp (server names & ip blacked)

I do not want them to see the directories in Red box
but only the blue ones in which they will upload / download files.
also the files shall be downloadable via http to others..

How can that be done?

P.S: Please let me know the full commands as i'm new so good at linux.

Thank You Very Much.

Hi,

Do you work with proftpd ?
The configuration of proftpd is conducted via the configuration file of /etc/proftpd.conf.

To limit the user "bob" to the starting directory "/tmp" you can use:
DefaultRoot /tmp bob

To restrict users to their own home directory, which you can accomplish via:
DefaultRoot ~
This causes all users to be presented with the contents of their home directory when they login.
