I tried using ProFTPD Server ..otherwise i used ( webmin and lighttpd) but the result was that my user had access to the whole filesystem.
I created a group www, changed /var/www to belong to that group and then added the new user 'ftpuser' to this group.
But when I logged the user had access to everything in the filesystem.
Is there a good and simple ftp server for linux that you guys recommend? I need to be able to easily manage permissions, like which user access which directories.
Very thanks
