Question

I'm using both Redhat and CentOS. When i do followings:

 # vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
 chroot_local_user=YES
 # service vsftpd restart

Then All Users are jailed in their homes.
What i really wanna know is:

  • HOW TO JAIL A SPECIFIC USER ONLY?
Was it helpful?

Solution

In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file comment the chroot_local_user=YES or set to NO and enable the following arguments

chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

Put the particular user in the /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list, restart vsftpd with service vsftpd restart then that particular user would be jailed to his home directory.

Thanks & Regards,
Alok
