ProFTPD Question
I would like to lock certain users in their home directory and keep some users able to browse the whole filesystem as they currently do. How do I do this?

Thanks

Add all ftp users to the same group. Add or edit this command in proftpd.conf:
Code:
DefaultRoot ~ ftpusers

This locks users in the group ftpusers to their home directory.

I mean all users you want to lock to their home directories. Add them to a group like rftpusers.
