I use vsftpd , what to restrict user to home folder , I now set the below setting may do it .
chroot_local_user=YES

I wonder if I add this setting , it may apply to all users , all users may restrict user to home folder , if I just want to restrict 1 user only, what can I do ?

you can use options on /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file

chroot_list_enable=YES
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list

you have to touch file chroot_list and list user chroot in this file

Example : I want to chroot user ftp_u1
I use two top options after add user ftp_u1 to file chroot_list
vim /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list
ftp_u1
