Hi,

Could someone tell me or point me to some place where it documents how
to secure a FTP Server.

I'm running RedHat 4.1 with 2.0.29 Kernel ..

What I would like to know is how can I stop webpage owners from
browsing outside there home directory eg. /web/html/~page/ . Currently
if they were to FTP in they could browse outside there home directory
to other directories eg. /usr/??? . This may seem very paranoid but I
just want them to be able to FTP to their home directory to change
their pages *only* . And not really snoop around 

I have found a site ages ago . That if I remembered correctly didn't
allow them to browse outside the base directory eg. /web .. They
couldn't go below that eg / . But now I can not remember where it was

Any help would be extremely grateful

Daryl,
