For example you have a user: /home/basavaraj .Why not just simply create an additional directory within /home/basavaraj/ to be
/home/basavaraj/ftp_login . When someone logs-in he will be able to only see /home/basavaraj/ftp_login and NOT
/home/basavaraj/

Dear Sir,

with politely Requesting you to help me about meaning of “/home/basavaraj .Why not just simply create an additional directory within /home/basavaraj/ to be
/home/basavaraj/ftp_login . When someone logs-in he will be able to only see /home/basavaraj/ftp_login and NOT”
/home/basavaraj/

I am writing words or sentences over here from bottom of my heart to you sir. I am here giving example one and we will continue with that Example…

In My Ubuntu Computer, I have Created 2 users–> USER1 AND USER2. These users have been put in FTP Userlist. This much I know…

Now I want to know that how to restrict these users to thier particular Folder How?

Hi Basavaraj,

Can user USER1 AND USER2 login to your FTP server? If yes, follow these instructions:

[ol]
[li]add a following directive to your vsftpd.conf configuration file: [/li]```
user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf

 
[li]create a directory to contain specific user config files: [/li]```
mkdir /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf

[li]now create a config file for USER1 called USER1 inside /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf . That is /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf/USER1 ( your real user name will be different ). [/li][li]edit /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd_user_conf/USER1 file and add a following content: [/li]

dirlist_enable=YES
download_enable=YES
local_root=/home/USER1
write_enable=YES

[/ol]

NOTES:
Edit local_root= with a full path to a directory you want your USER1 have access to. Repeat step 3 & 4 to create vsftpd directory access for USER2 … USERx.

Hope this helps

Lubos
