can anyone help me on this please I am using vsftpd
Would help if we knew what version/distro of Linux you're using, but you do realize you're asking two different questions, right? FTP IS NOT SFTP. SFTP runs over SSH, and *IS NOT* attached to vsftpd at all. The term for what you're asking is called "chroot" (or "change root"). While vsftpd may be set to do this, SFTP needs configuration in the SSH configs.
yes,I am using ftp using vsftpd,
can you please explain me both if possible,for both ftp and sftp
I am very thankful of you tell me both
Thanks in advance

Sorry, but no. I have told you the terminology, and handed you a tutorial on how to do this for SFTP. There is absolutely no reason you cannot put "how to configure chroot in vsftpd" into Google, and look up a tutorial for yourself. You can even just look at the man page for vsftpd.conf, or even just OPEN that file, and look for that term.
We are happy to help with SPECIFIC questions, but we aren't going to type up tutorials or look things up for you.
