Hi how to change the default vsftp anonymous accout directory /var/ftp to other directory?

Is it posible if i create a user name alex, than the home directory is /home/alex , when i using username alex to login to vsftp, then will go to /home/alex directory, is it posible to change the alex "vsftp" directory to other directory, but not modify his "alex" default home directory /home/alex which is in /etc/passwd

Thank.

Did you or anyone else get this going? Trying to do exactly the same thing on Red Hat with VSFTP.

Sounds like you want the local-root option http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red...f-opt-usr.html
