Re: How to block "cd" for FTP users

[Shao Zhang <shao@cia.com.au>]

I think most of ftp servers can do that. The config file should be something like ftpaccess.
For some ftp servers, you will need your /etc/passwd looks like something:

shao:x:1000:1000:Shao Zhang,,,:/home/shao/./:/bin/bash

notice the extra ./ in the home dir. It is used by the ftp server to do a chroot.
