My /etc/ftpchroot file just consists of a list of usernames, one per line. This effectively restricts the ftp user to his/her home directory on the server (the home directory, of course, is owned by the user in question). On your system does the user own the directory you are trying to ftpchroot him in? Perhaps that is a requirement... Lisa Casey Lisa, Yes, just a little different than your case...... In my example, I substituted "Username" for the real user name With plain old ftpd, as setup by default during installation and no ftpchroot file present at all, "Username" can login to ftp and ends up in /usr/home/Username. I want Username to only be able to login to /usr/home/Username/photos/ and no where else. Denny -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
