Thank you...that is what I was looking for. However, I have a question:
the man page does not give any information and when I go to vsfptd.conf,
"chroot_local_user" is not listed as an option. Have I missed
something" Do I need another cup of cofee?
I went to another server of mine and I did find that I had added
"chroot_local_user=YES".
