thanks for posting. I do still have one problem that it didnt work for some reason. Would it be helpful if I posted that pectabyte's FTP site should only be ftp://pectabyte.dyndns.org while mine would be ftp://mosherben.dyndns.org? Right now if you try browsing though both FTP sites you have anonymous access which is very strange since I restarted my RH9 server to try have this fixed.
I can create a SSH login(?) for you if you could access the machine since I do have SSH setup. Don't ask about what SSH is, I only know it allows a user to remotely access your files and I let a contact of a friend have a look after I tried your suggustion. :-/
Thanks, Ben

Hi Ben! In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf specify chroot_local_user=YES
and comment #anonymous_enable=YES
Then to bind user to his home directory In /etc/passwd
mosherben:x:800:800::/var/www:/bin/bash pectabyte:x:801:801::/var/www/pectaybte:/bin/bash
Then in the bash execute chmod 777 -R /var/www/pectaybte chown pectabyte:pectabyte -R /var/www/pectaybte
that's it Best Regards, Sergei Giritch Web System Administrator Fleetchek.com

Hi, ok I installed the vsftpd which came with RH9. Anyhows I know the config file is in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf but how do I configure it to be multi-users with no anonymous access. This is only for a friend and myself to use. I have created our usernames and passwords but how to choose what directories we have access to?
I want my account (mosherben) to access /var/www/ for complete control of the FTP server and service so I can change the permissions of a subfolder using an FTP client if I dont like something I see in one of the folders.
I want my friends account (pectabyte) to access /var/www/pectaybte to control his area of the FTP service.
Both accounts need full permissions (7). Can someone help me figure the configuration out?
Thanks, Ben
PS: I havnt updated any packages yet using up2date before someone asks.
