The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

How can I hide certain directories and show others in vsftpd?

Zones: FTP Servers, Linux Networking, Linux Administration

Tags: Ubuntu Gutsy 64bit, vsftpd, 2.0.x, using dyndns for port forwarding

I have a vsftp server configured for both local and internet access. I have very few (5 or less) users that will need to remotely connect to the server and download files from a set of directories (/data/fs1/* & /data/fs2/app) as well as uploading to a central location (/data/fs1/upload). How can I only show those directories when a user logs in? Right now I have users with local accounts connecting remotely. When they login, they're taken to their home directory where i put in sym links for the directories. They're able to upload and download fine, but they can also cd .. all the way up to /. I would like them to only go as far as /data and really don't need them to have their own home directories.

Here's the kicker though. I sometimes remote admin this machine and would like to ftp into the box and grab some logs out of /etc/ or /var/ so I would like to have one account that has full / view.

Is this at all possible with vsftpd or should I switch over to another ftp server?

Below is a posting of my vsftpd.conf file.

         
           
           
             listen=YES
anonymous_enable=NO
local_enable=YES
write_enable=YES
local_umask=022
dirmessage_enable=YES
xferlog_enable=YES
connect_from_port_20=YES
idle_session_timeout=600
data_connection_timeout=120
chroot_local_user=NO
secure_chroot_dir=/var/run/vsftpd
pam_service_name=vsftpd
rsa_cert_file=/etc/ssl/certs/ssl-cert-snakeoil.pem
rsa_private_key_file=/etc/ssl/private/ssl-cert-snakeoil.key
