Restrict access to /root to any user using ftp
Hi,
I want to restrict the access to /root directory to all my ftp users. I mean to say that they should not access /root folder after loging to ftp server. Is there any entry in vsftpd.conf or any of the ftp configuration files. The users are using IE 7 to access their ftp directories. Any suggestions on this..

By default nobody is allowed to go to /root dir. Can you tell us more about ftp server name and operating system? Is it vsftpd?

SOLVED : Restrict access to /root to any user using ftp
I have solved the issue. I have added the user ftproot in chroot_list file.
# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of # users to NOT chroot(). chroot_list_enable=YES # (default follows) chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/chroot_list restart the service and user will not be able to access any other directory except his/her home directory
