How do I chroot a user in proftpd?

Question

I installed proftpd 1.3.4e successfully. I have compiled it, and did the make install part but I want to configure it, don't know how to do so. I want when logged in to be in

/var/www/html/

I followed this tutorial:

http://www.webune.com/forums/how-to-install-proftpd-linux-centos.html

I have centos 5. Would anyone tell me how to configure it, to be working properly so I can connect using an ftp client?

Solution

Check out the DefaultRoot configuration parameter. With that you can modify the directory to which the user is restricted.

You have two options:

• Set DefaultRoot to the homedir and create/modify an user so that it's home-directory is /var/www/html/
• Set DefaultRoot to /var/www/html/
