Change home directory of ftp user linux

-

You have to add the following option on the vsftpd.conf file

chroot_local_user=YES

The documentation inside the configuration file is self-explanatory:

# You may specify an explicit list of local users to chroot() to their home  # directory. If chroot_local_user is YES, then this list becomes a list of  # users to NOT chroot().

This means, that the user will just have access on the folder you configured as HOME of the user.Below, i have an example of a user passwd entry:

upload_ftp:x:1001:1001::/var/www/sites/:/bin/bash

Edit 1: Set the home directory of the user with the following command

usermod -d /var/www/my.domain.example/ exampleuser

BLAFS is a bloat-aware filesystem for container debloating. The design principles of BLAFS are effective, efficient, and easy to use. It detects the files used by the container, and then debloats the container by removing the unused files. The debloated containers are still functional and can run the same workload as the original containers, but with a much smaller size and faster deployment. https://github.com/negativa-ai/BLAFS?tab=readme-ov-file
