(sorry) Thanks. I thought I had to setup the chroot environment myself like I had to some years ago. I'd no idea that vsftpd did it all for you in its config file:-) What a timesaver! On Wednesday 09 October 2002 11:38, Nick Katsamas wrote:

Hi,

See in the man page the variable "chroot_list_enable"

or better search for the word chroot in the man page. It will help you.

in /etc/passwd I have: ftpadmin:x:504:100::/home/ftp/./ftpadmin/:/dev/null

and in /home/ftpadmin/etc/passwd: ftpadmin:x:504:100::/ftpadmin/:/dev/null

But vsftpd doesn't seem to allow it:

220 ready, dude (vsFTPd 1.0.1: beat me, break me) USER ftpadmin 331 Please specify the password. PASS xxxx 500 OOPS: chdir disconnecting. . .

What do I have wrong? Thanks, Steve.
