FTP user problem

Hello,

I'm making a FTP server, but i've a problem: When a user connect with the FTP server, he starts in /var/www, but when he types in his computer cd .. he can go to /var, where he can enter the command again and then he is in the root directorie. I don't want that, but i don't know how?

kind regards

Jerome

Hi,

That depends on the ftp server you use.

- Which one are you setting up (Pure-FTPd, ProFTPD, vsftpd, ...)?
- How did you configure this server (out-of-the-box, did you change anything, anonymous users only, ...)?

A bit more info is needed to answer the question.
