Hello, I need to lock/chroot/limit a FTP user to a specific folder My droplet is Ubuntu I installed vsftpd
I’ve created a new user using: sudo usermod -d /home/USERNAME USERNAME
I’ve binded the html folder to the new user folder mount --bind /var/www/html /home/USERNAME/www/html
I’ve edited the vsftpd.conf file and modified the following: chroot_local_user=YES allow_writeable_chroot=YES write_enable=YES
I saved the file restarted the vsftpd using: service vsftpd restart
when I connect from my pc using filezilla I’m still able to navigate through all the servers folder any help?
