Hello. Sorry if this is a basic question. I installed on my computer proftpd. I create 2 users: user01 and user02. When I connect to my server through ftp command, both user can see all my computer. I want just one of them to can see all my files (for ex. user01) and the other I don't want to see the root directory (I want that user02 can see just the files from his /home/user02 directory). Can you help me? Thanks.

Look through /etc/proftpd.conf and look for this section:

CODE

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
DefaultRoot ~

Uncomment DefaultRoot ~

That should do it.

ok, thanks, but now all users are looked in their own home directory, but I want one of them to don't be looked and can see the root directory. It is possible?
Here is my /etc/proftpd.conf

CODE

ServerName                      "ProFTPD"
