Hello all, My second concern has been resolved through a message in the archives of this list.... here is the solution to that ... "in vsftpd.conf, u can use these options: chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list local_root=/var/ftp what will these do? if user1 is in the vsftp.chroot_list, he will be chrooted to /var/ftp when he ftps to your machine. If user2 is not in the chroot list and he makes an ftp connection, the default directory will be /var/ftp but he can still cd into his home directory (ie cd /home/user2)" ----------- Now, something new is in my mind. There is one user, to whom I have given FTP access, I want her not to ssh(telnet) into my system using that user id/passwd. What is the easiest method to do that ... This may be a simple question, but I am new to linux. Thanks in advance, Yasir. -----Original Message----- From: mykhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mykhan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 8:05 AM To: redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx Importance: High Dear All, I've setup vsftpd on my RH Linux 8.0 box. I've some questions I want to ask... Problem 1: ~~~~~~~~~~ When I connect to my FTP Server I get the following messages: 257 "/home/rj" TYPE A 200 ASCII tastes bad, dude. PORT 193,1,1,99,8,3 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. LIST 150 Here comes the directory listing. After this " Here comes the directory listing" message the directory listing comes after sooo long ... its seems to me the server is in some sort of trouble ... can anybuddy guide me ?? Second Concern: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I want to setup a default directory for example /Movies as FTP root directory instead of the respective user's home directory. What I must do in this case ??? one more thing ... the user is able to browse the upper level directories than her home directory. What I must do to restrict this ?? thanks in advance, Yasir. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
