Add an FTP user to Linux and set the appropriate permissions

To add an FTP user to Linux and set the appropriate permissions, proceed as follows:

1, Environment: FTP for VSFTP. The user named Test is restricted. The restricted path is/home/test

2, build the user: Under the root User:

useradd-d/home/test Test//Add user test and make test user's home directory as/home/test
passwd test//Set a password for test

3, change the user's corresponding permission settings:

Usermod-s/sbin/nologin test//Limit user test cannot telnet, FTP only
Usermod-s/sbin/bash Test//user test returned to normal
usermod-d/test Test//change user test's home directory to/test

4, restrict the user to access only/home/test, cannot access other paths

Modify the/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf as follows:

Chroot_list_enable=yes//Restrict access to own directory
# (default follows)
Chroot_list_file=/etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.chroot_list

Edit the Vsftpd.chroot_list file to add restricted users, one row per user name

Do not forget to restart the VSFTPD server after changing the configuration file
[Email protected] root]#/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart
