Proftpd user directories

[Abadi176]

Hello,

I've got some problems with Proftpd. One of them is that I can't assign a directory to a user. For example we have user "test".

The home root of this user is: "/home/test".

When The user log in, he will only see what's inside "/home/test" directory.

What I want to do is assign a directory to the home folder, and give an alias.

For Example:

I assign the directory "/var/www" with alias "www". When the user will login, will he see this:

<directories and folders inside /home/test>
www

How can I create this ?

My second problem is that a user can go to his parent directory. I have used in proftpd.conf:

DefaultRoot ~

But it doesn't work well I think. When I'm on my server: and type ../ after ftp://srv1/ (ftp://srv1/../) I can access the parent directory. And if I enter "ftp://srv1/../../" I've access to all directories.

Can Anyone help me with this problem?
Thank you all already

Greetz,

you need to use the "lock user in home directory" thingy..i suggest you try gproftpd , its a gui for proftpd and makes it easier for you to configure your ftp server.. to install type sudo apt-get install gproftpd .. or you could install via synaptic (System->administration->Synaptic)

Hi superprash2003,

Thank you for your response.

I don't have the desktop version. I use the ubuntu server. So I don't have any GUI but the shell
