by We'd setup an ftp server using Red Hat 6.2 and WU-Ftpd, then when
we'd set up individual users when they logged in they had access to cd
to just about anywhere and could see and download files from the other
users home directories. I got the WU-Ftpd guest how to and followed the
various steps outlined to restrict the ftp users and that worked fine
but now I've run into a couple other problems that I need help to fix.
First is that they now can't delete files out of their own ftp directory
where they could before. The second and more serious problem is that
when I ftp in as the user with the Windows dos based ftp program and I
perform the 'ls' command I get what you would expect, a list of the
files in their root directory which is actually /ftp/<user>. However
when I ftp in with a graphical ftp program like FTP Voyager, I connect
to the server but it fails to shows any files when there are actually
some there. Watching the commands that the program is trying to perform
I see it issuing /bin/ls, their user directory which is chroot does have
a bin directory and there is a link in there to ls. The How To does
mention that if you can't see the directory contents after you login as
the guest user, the 'ls' program that you installed is not working but
doesn't really go into how you fix the problem. Can anyone give me some
help here and either tell me how to fix this or point me to a document
that will.
Thanks,
