anonymous ftp to a specific directory - how?


I use fedora core 4 and vsftp. I'd like to know how i can make specific users to login in a specific directory and how i can restrict them there and the subdirectories. For example, i'd like "anonymous" to be logged and restricted in /var/ftp.
Maybe somebody can post his vsftpd.conf-if he uses vsftp.
thanks

about anonymous, it's quite simple.

add : anon_root=/var/ftp

to vsftpd.conf


for other users, depends if you're working in the virtual users way.

if you're not, you can use chroot_local_user=YES to root them in their home directory. this is dangerous.

you better use local_root=... to root them to a specific directory. of course they will all be root'ed to the same dir.

you can use user_config_dir=... to specify different options such as local_root for every users.


but my best advice is to visit http://vsftpd.beasts.org/vsftpd_conf.html
