It may be useful to look through the mailing list archives on this, as I've never done it myself. (http://www.FreeBSD.org/search/) BUT, as this question has been asked several times I believe I know there answer. Put the usernames of the users in /etc/ftpchroot, what you'll need to do, if you do that is to make a dir in each user's home dir called ~/bin and copy the files from ~ftp/bin into that dir. Otherwise you would have to re-compile ftpd with FTPD_INTERNAL_LS. I'm sure someone else on the list could give you more detailed instructions on this. But it can be done. -Chris P.S. Take a look at this posting on freebsd.org.. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=839110+841779+/usr/local/www/db/ text/1998/freebsd-questions/19981108.freebsd-questions > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Scott [SMTP:freepix@sirius.com] > Sent: Sunday, May 23, 1999 12:30 AM > To: Christopher Michaels > Subject: RE: Allowing users access > > Thank you very much for this information.
