I've not set up an ftpd in some years, but you might look at pure-ftpd I believe that it allows you to map users to /etc/passwd entries (even if those entries have no login permissions) as well as specifying a different ftproot for different users.
It was also at the time one of the more secure ftpds. Your mileage may vary. Best, Glen On 04/11/10 15:20, Matt Darcy wrote: > Hi Ubuntu uk, > > This is tricky subject to summerize.
