[SOLVED] ftp multiple users should share a single folder/dir with their account passwords

satyadev75 · 02-03-2012, 08:24 AM

hi linux user/admin,

I am using an FTP server. we should need two directories. few ftp users should have the permission to enter into one directory and remaining should enter into other directory. while entering into the specific directory it should ask for the username and password.

EXAMPLE: there are main1 and main2 are two directories in the FTP server.. and we have ftp1 , ftp2, ftp3, ftp4 and ftp5 are five ftp users are there.
ftp1 and ftp2 should have the permission to enter into the main1
ftp3,ftp4 and ftp5 should have the permission to enter into the main2
every time it should check by the user password...

please can you any one help me or can you show me some other way????????????????????????

Hi,

You should mention your distro and the ftp server you're running

you may chnage the home directory using -d for the users.

every user by default logs into their home directory when they give their credentials while logging in ftp server
so you need to specify the default place where the user has to go after logging in

this is how to do this

Code:

#vi vsftpd.conf
anonymous_enable=NO
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf

#mkdir /etc/vsftpd_user_conf
#cd /etc/vsftpd_user_conf
#vi user1
local_root=/(path where user1 wil log in)

create similar files for all the users and give their local_root
