ftp acct/permissions
i'm running linux on my VPS server. using WEBppliance Pro3.5.20
I am trying to set up ftp accts for my website administrators, using the control panel i can set up the user accounts but it will not allow me to give them certain permissions like ex. user 1 only allowed access to /var/www/html/staff and nothing below that there has to be a way to do this through ssl I have FULL root access to my box i tried this command [root@deep ] /# useradd -d /home/var/www/html/staff/ -s /dev/null ftpadmin > /dev/null 2>&1 [root@deep ] /# passwd ftpadmin root@deep ] /# vi /etc/shells /bin/bash /bin/sh /bin/ash /bin/bsh /bin/tcsh /bin/csh /dev/null root@deep ] /# vi /etc/passwd ftpadmin:x:502:502::/home/var/www/html/staff/./ftpadmin/:/dev/null this totaly messed up my control panel :eek: I did a restore of my server and its back to normal. however I'm still not sure how to add a user to my ftp server with permissions "only to access a certain directory" pls help |
chroot is what your looking for and you can also not give them shell access by adding something like:
/bin/false to your /etc/shells file. That's if you only want them to be jailed to a particular directory and not have any other access to the system with no shell access, etc. |
