Greetings to all,
I am quite new to Linux (Redhat or any for that matter.)
Just installed RH v8 and have a few questions on FTP that I couldn’t solve with the book that came with CDs.
Question 1:
The book says that if I add user’s name to /etc/ftpusers file, than this user will not be able to login. I am specifically talking about the user FTP who can login without password. But it still lets user login anyway. Tried to load/unload/reload vsftpd service, rebooted the box, but nothing seems to help.
Question 2:
From the other side, user ROOT is the owner of all folders, including /var/ftp (default login folder for FTP service). However, user ROOT is not allowed to login to FTP server for some reason. Neither is allowed any other user I create, except user FTP.
Question 3:
I would like that when users login to FTP server they will only be able to see their own /home/username folder “mapped” as root, so that they can’t go any level above /username folder.
Thanks.
