VSFTPD
« on: March 06, 2013, 08:02:41 AM »
I need to setup  a ftp server where users can upload only to a specific folder and not allow them to browse outside of this folder.
I'm trying with vsftpd and only manage to have users browse the entire file system. Can this be done with vsftpd or should I try some other?

For sure you can do that. I have been using vsftpd several years ago and it was working. I guess there were sample configs in the package. Don't ask me now :)

Hi mbertrand
This seems to have a useful example:

If you need more, try Googling    vsftpd chroot anonymous user

Yep, usually you would set the ftp root to that folder.
