vsFTP on RH8.0 help needed
 

I am trying to setup vsftp virtual server, but am having 2 main problem and I cannot find any good documentation on the program. I can get the ftp to work and I can login using the account I made. However, I don't know how to setup vsftp so that only IP's that is listed can access the server. I also need to have the vsftp setup so that the /home drive is on a Windows 2000 computer. I am having problem first mapping the drive on RH 8.0 and even if I can get pass that I don't know how to have it setup. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Well as far as I'm aware it's possible to change root the dierctorys for individual users to another directory which I guess if it's mounted no matter what it is be it local or not. If you can mount it I'm assuming you can chroot to it. If you can get the win2k drives mounted I'm sure (well pretty) you can do it.

Do man vsftpd.conf which might point you in the right direction.

As far as IP access you can delimit that using /etc/hosts.allow and/etc/ hosts.deny using

vsftpd:192.16.8.1 substitute accordingly

/etc/hosts.deny

ALL:ALL

or to put a different slant use vstfpd.user_list to deny access other than to certain users if you change options in your vsftpd.conf file but a combination of both hosts.allow/deny and user list is probably good.
