[NBLUG/talk] Permissions question

[Mark Street]

Let's see brianpics entry in /etc/passwd,

and the output from the command

id brianpics

What are the full permissions on /home/httpd directory?
For brianpics directory the perms can be more restrictive 750 or even 700.

From /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf, uncomment as I have done here.  Of course my 
config may be different than yours..

# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home
# directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of
# users to NOT chroot().
chroot_list_enable=YES
# (default follows)
chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list
#

Create the file vsftpd.chroot_list file and put the users login name in it.

then run as root

service vsftpd restart

login as your user.... ftp chroot jail...
