I created new user:
adduser tchuck passwd tchuck
(typed password)
and now; I want this user to see only one directory that; /var/www/public_html/mysite.com
I used that method: usermod --home /var/www/mysite.com/public_html tchuck
buy when I login with ftp, i can get back to parent directories. I just want this user, to see only mysite.com/ as a parent.
How can I make it?
Thanks

Hey friend!
For this you would need a chroot environment. You’re probably going to want to move the website to the user’s home directory for this to work with any relative ease:

The complexity of achieving this in the most desirable way, without trade-offs, is not something I would underestimate. I mention that because having the site in the user’s home directory is probably going to present a few more challenges to your expected environment, and those might not be easily overcome with this model.
