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".
