Restricting Users SFTP

[zemon_]

Im running ubuntu server 8.10 with vsftpd.
I want to restrict users to there home directory.
This is what I tried

nano /etc/vsftpd.conf

Then uncommented this line

chroot_local_user=YES

/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart


Any ideas what im doing wrong?

Hi zemon_

Try this:

Edit the /etc/vsftpd.conf file with these lines:
chroot_list_enable=yes
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

You have to create the /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list file with the users you want to restrict access.

Yes I tried that also , but does not work I can still login as restricted user and view all the other files

Oh! I forgot to mension...

If you're are using the

chroot_list_enable=yes
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

then you must set

chroot_local_user=no

They have opposite effect! :)
