ProFTPD is in the ports: # cd /usr/ports/net/proftpd # make # make install Watch the output carefully here. At the end of all the ports is a little message that gives you extra information about what you've just installed. With ProFTPD you have to make a couple of changes to your /etc/pam.conf for example. # make clean You now have a good FTP daemon installed. :-) If you want to restrict access to just the user directory then read the very good documentation at http://www.proftpd.org/ It's pretty easy but you'd do well to read up on what you've got installed. Basically you end up with a DocumentRoot set to ~ and then it's impossible for people to roam outside their home directory.
