I have vsftp chrooted so that users can only come into their home directory. I have a few virtual hosts. I have the websites in the home directory of the intial user for each site. So the sites look like this. /home/user1/html /home/user2/html Using vsftp, I have set the default to chroot a user to their home directory. So user1 ftping in whill go right to his directory and not be able to go higher. My problem is adding a second user to be able to access the directory via ftp. In other words, user1 has a partner named user1a. I tried adding user1a in user1 group and not in user1 group...netiher worked. I tried adding user1a with no home directory and tried making their home directoy /home/user1 In all cases, ftp says 'cannot move to /home/user1' when trying to access with user1a. I am to the point it is time to forgo the security of chroot in vsftp to just add a second user. Any help appreciated.
