If you are using VSFTP, then you want to add or uncomment the following line in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf chroot_local_user=YES Save the changes. Restart VSFTPD. This will jail the user to their home directory. Taken from: http://centoshacker.com/kabir/remove-access/creating-a-chroot-jail-enabled-ftp-service.html If you use ProFTPD (which is what I use), then follow this guide: http://www.proftpd.org/docs/howto/Chroot.html Josh
