FTP server

[Sergei Giritch]

Hi Ben!
In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf specify
chroot_local_user=YES

and comment
#anonymous_enable=YES

Then to bind user to his home directory
In /etc/passwd

mosherben:x:800:800::/var/www:/bin/bash
pectabyte:x:801:801::/var/www/pectaybte:/bin/bash

Then in the bash execute
chmod 777 -R /var/www/pectaybte
chown pectabyte:pectabyte -R /var/www/pectaybte

that's it

Hi,
ok I installed the vsftpd which came with RH9. Anyhows I know the config 
file is in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf but how do I configure it to be 
multi-users with no anonymous access. This is only for a friend and myself 
to use. I have created our usernames and passwords but how to choose what 
directories we have access to?

I want my account (mosherben) to access /var/www/ for complete control of 
the FTP server and service so I can change the permissions of a subfolder 
using an FTP client if I dont like something I see in one of the folders.

I want my friends account (pectabyte) to access /var/www/pectaybte to 
control his area of the FTP service.

Both accounts need full permissions (7). Can someone help me figure the 
configuration out?

Thanks,
Ben

PS: I havnt updated any packages yet using up2date before someone asks.
