Dedicated server and vsftpd. I need help with that. PLEASE.
#1

Hi, guys. I have dedicated server and i wanna make my company for samp servers. So i installed vsftpd on my dedicated server and i created a few users with FTP. Now everyone has a access to all my files on dedicated server. Can someone tell me how to limit users to only their home directory I need it so bad. Thank you!

P.S IF somebody help me out with that. I will give you SA-MP server for FREE!

set chroot_local_user to yes then execute usermod on whatever user you want to restrict access to

usermod --home /enter/your/directory/here/ ftp_username

Are you sure that you can handle all the technical challenges that hosting brings, if you cant even handle something as simple as file permissions and ftp chroot?

I use
pawn Код:
chroot_local_user=YES
Then you will need to set user's home dir, and remove write flag from that dir (or you wont be able to connect to FTP with that user).

If you want to allow your users to write in home dir
pawn Код:
allow_writeable_chroot=YES
Please note that conf. variable is for vsftpd 3.0+ (I think 14.04 uses 3.x)
If you are on 12.04 then read third post from http://askubuntu.com/questions/12818...g-after-update

That will install vsftpd from unofficial repository so keep that in mind.

if it's not supported by the distribution's official repository, then it is not meant as a stable release for said distribution version

I get what you are saying but i have been using it for a long time and i can tell you its stable. In any case using unofficial repositories means if something goes south you can blame only yourself (that is what you are saying ). But in some cases using unofficial repositories is better than using official...For example node.js package from ubuntu official repository on 14.04 just breaks half the things only because some idiot decided to rename freaking directory...
