Submitted by Michel on Sun, 2010-01-24 19:16
In proftpd (ftp server), the most common configuration requested is to restrict users to their home directories, which can be done simply by adding the following line to your proftpd.conf: DefaultRoot ~ The ~ (tilde) is a Unix-ism that is expanded to the logging-in user's home directory.You can use this configuration directive in:
  • VirtualHost
  • Global
  • in the main "server config"
