Deny directory browsing in a Proftpd / Ubuntu Installation
- by skylarking
I used this guide to set up a Proftpd installation an Ubuntu 8.04 server... Works well, but the generic user ( userftp ) can run
ls
and is able to change to any Directory and browse freely on the server ..from the root
/
and upwards..
I added this line to etc/shells
/bin/false
in hopes that that would prevent this ...
I really only want the userftp account to be able to upload to the generic
/home/FTP-Shared
directory, and be able to do nothing else on the server.
How is this accomplished ... This is a headless Ubuntu box..and I am using CLI only .. no GUI admin tools
