proftpd private user


Hi,

i'm a little lost configuring proftpd wondering if someone can help.I'm trying to config my proftpd so that only an authenticated user should be able to logon, no anoynmous and this user should only have access to one single directory.

Config file sample, clue, tutorial will be more than welcome


thanks for your help

>> only an authenticated user should be able to logon

# Set the user and group under which the server will run.
User name
Group ftp

>> should only have access to one single directory.

# Limiting all users to their $HOME dir
<VirtualHost localhost.localdomain>
DefaultRoot ~
</VirtualHost>

If the user can still access other users directories you could hide those files and folders.

# Hide all files owned by user 'name'
HideUser name

# Disallow client from any access to hidden files.
<Limit READ DIRS>
IgnoreHidden on
</Limit>
