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,
