For some reason my vsftpd.conf file allows the system users, added using useradd and groupadd commands to browse other directories - even though I set the jailed option. Can anyone figure out what I did wrong in vsftpconf. I want clients to RW and browse just one directory! Its like vsftp auto logs into the root directory. Here’s how it looks: listen=YES anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES write_enable=YES #local_umask=022 use_localtime=YES xferlog_enable=YES chroot_local_user=YES secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd/empty pam_service_name=vsftpd rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/private/vsftpd.pem
