first we need to install rpm package which is on linux disc. you can mount disk and install package
vsftpd-2.0.5-16.el5_4.1 with command:
rpm -Uvh vsftpd-2.0.5-16.el5_4.1.rpm
after that we need to start ftp server with command:
service vsftpd start
now our ftp server is running.
let's create user ftpdump which can access only his home directory for file transfer.
mkdir -p /ftp groupadd ftpdump useradd –s /bin/bash –d /ftp –g ftpdump ftpdump passwd ftpdump chown -R ftpdump:ftpdump /ftp chmod -R 777 /ftp
for limit user ftpdump to access only his home directory open vsftpd.conf and add next parameters:
vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf chroot_local_user=NO chroot_list_enable=YES chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot.list
Then add each user you want to lock to their home directory to the chroot.
I want that ftpdump user access only his home dir, hence i added it in chroot.list
vi /etc/vsftpd/chroot.list ftpdump
now we can make test, connect ftp with user ftpdump and try to change directory.
C:\Users\user>ftp #.#.#.# Connected to #.#.#.#. 220 (vsFTPd 2.0.5) User (#.#.#.#:(none)): ftpdump 331 Please specify the password. Password: 230 Login successful. ftp> pwd 257 "/" ftp> ls 200 PORT command successful. Consider using PASV. 150 Here comes the directory listing. test.t 226 Directory send OK. ftp: 111 bytes received in 0.00Seconds 111000.00Kbytes/sec. ftp> pwd 257 "/" ftp> cd /u01 550 Failed to change directory. ftp>
that's all, good luck.
