Linux VSFTPD : Jail a "Specific User" to its home?

I'm using both Redhat and CentOS. When i do followings:

 # vi /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf
 chroot_local_user=YES
 # service vsftpd restart

Then All Users are jailed in their homes.
What i really wanna know is:

Solution

  • In /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf file comment the chroot_local_user=YES or set to NO and enable the following arguments

    chroot_list_enable=YES
    chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list

    Put the particular user in the /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list, restart vsftpd with service vsftpd restart then that particular user would be jailed to his home directory.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Alok
