Hi everyone, I'm doing some tests setting up an sftp server, with setting up a chroot jail for ftp users. <snip...> Any ideas on how to restrict access so ftp users are locked into their own home directories - if that is even possible? It doesn't seem like much of an issue to me, but I'd appreciate your thoughts.
I did this five or six years ago. I don't remember the details, but I can tell you it is possible to do. I seem to remember that I somehow set the chrootpath to /home/<user-directory> for each user. This made that directory the root for that user when the sign on so there is no way for them to cd in /home. Thus they can't see the other users' directories.
The advantage of doing it this way is that it is far less resource intensive than setting up a virtual machine for each user as they sign on.
