Hi all,

I have been playing around with Ubuntu Server 11.10 with basic OpenSSH package installed from setup.

I have installed proftpd and have been playing around with users and directories etc but came across one issue. I now have two users using the following command

sudo useradd username -p password -d /home/directory -s /bin/false

the above works great but what I really want to do is, make "username" only see "directory". At present, when I log in with "username" I am pointed to "directory" but I can back out of that directory and go to the home directory thus allowing access to other directories (using filezilla on windows).

User, how would I go about editing and deleting users? I have also been looking at trying to remove and edit permissions but I cant seem to figure it out.

Hopefully you guys understand what I mean!

Thanks in advance

hey infiltrator, thanks for that. from what i can see - vsftpd looks like it handles chroot alot easier than proftpd. aside from that and ftps, what would you say are the major differences? and based on that, what would be better?

thanks
