Hi<br />
<br />
I've got a handful of users on my Debian server that are FTP only, they are chrooted to their home directly (I use vsftpd) and have their login shell set to /bin/false. Their home directory is used by Apache to host web sites.<br />
<br />
What permissions should I set to these users home directories? I'm guessing 700.<br />
<br />
What about the umask setting for vsftpd? <br />
<br />
In need of some &quot;best practice&quot; guidance.<br />
<br />
<br />
