Restrict malicious file from one www folder access to other www folders

Posted on June 15, 2015

I have multiple websites by multiple clients. If one of the clients (s)ftp access is compromised or a malicious file is uploaded via their website then can I on the rackspace cloud restrict the malicious file from accessing other www folders since this is a dedicated server.

The answer on this question covers a setup to restrict SFTP users to their own directory in quite a bit of detail. I’d recommend starting there.
