I've thought of that, but there are other users, using the same
directories he's using, I don't want move any directories around. There
has to be a way to chroot a user and then allow access to only specific
directories? I was looking at other ports but I wasn't sure as of yet I
wanted to see if there was a way with the default ftpd. If this is not
possible can anybody suggest GOOD ftp server ports that will allow for
this kind of file use, as in allow users to only see certain directories
of the admins choosing? Thanks

Hey
I have a default install of freebsd 6.2, and I enable ftpd in inetd.
That all works nicely, I add a user to the system that needs to access ONLY
two directories that are in two different places.
For example: /usr/local/www/dir1 and /usr/local/www/dir2/
There are many directories in /usr/local/www/ that this person SHOULD not
have access too. I also made this person a home directory:
/usr/home/personX/. I then made the symlinks to the two directories they
need to access. After all that setup I went into my /etc/ftpchroot file and
added the following line:
personX
saved and I try to log on to test to see if it is locked in the home
directory but has access to the two other directories they need.
Does work, is there anyway to do this with the default ftpd package that
comes with this?
If you're attempting to restrict this FTP user to their home
directory, then symlinks to directories outside of their home
directory won't be accessible; this is the nature of chroot. You could
create those directories in that user's home directory and create
symlinks to those directories in the web directories (the opposite of
what you have) and that might work how you want. If the permissions on
your user's home directory are restricted you'd probably have to
modify permissions so that the web user could access them.
