How can I restrict FTP users to specific folders on the server (CentOS 6.0)
 

Hi all,

I have centOS 6 installed on our VPS server.
I have successfully installed FTP and created an FTP user.
However, the FTP user can view all the files on the server.
How can I restrict the FTP user to a certain directory?
Currently, the user is sent straight to var/www/html (but this FTP user is still able to view the other files on the server)

I had have created virtual hosts on the server and this FTP user should actually go to its corresponding website's home on the server, which is:
/var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs
and this user should not be able to view the other files…
How can I achieve this?

Here’s how I got to this point:
I had added the user by doing: useradd -d /var/www/vhosts/mywebsite.com/httpdocs myftpuser
And then created and added myftpuser to /etc/vsftpd/chroot_list

Thanks.
