If you're really serious about doing this I would suggest that you look into the app "chroot" as this would make things a lot more secure. xyberpix On Tue, 2004-11-30 at 21:06 -0800, Rafal Zajac wrote:
Hi I have question about users' directories placement. I'm trying to set up Linux based FTP and WWW server (Slackware 10 / kernel 2.4.26). I will be using proftpd and apache as my servers. I will have there kinds of users: - shell users - users with shell, ftp, www (home pages http/php/mySQL) access - Not trusted users - without shell access but with ftp and www access - anonymous users - access to anonymous ftp (upload and download - uploaded data will be accessible to download only after approval ) I have basically no problem with proftpd and apache configuration but my question is: How should I arrange user directories? How is it done on some isps' servers? Right now I come up with configuration like this: /home /home/ftp /home/ftp/anonymous /home/ftp/anonumous/upload /home/ftp/untrusted_user1 /home/ftp/untrusted_user1 /home/exchange /home/trusted_user1 /home/trusted_user2 None of above users can reed other users directories but they can exchange data using /home/exchange (for trusted users only) /home/ftp/anonumous/upload (for untrusted users after root approval) In each user folder is www_page folder holding their (http/php) files. I don't have experience with setting up things like that so I'm asking you for help.
