I have searched "Limit FTP user's access to a specific directory" subject for 3 days. I found proftp and vsftp but i couldn't compile and install. Is there any idea. Please suggest.
Firstly, you can create an account for your ftp client to use (with a unique userid/passwd). Create a separate group too just for this user. This means that they are very restricted with regards gaining access via userid and group access to other directories. When they connect they land in their home directory as specified on the account. You can disable them from interactive login too, so ftp access only (and they need to know the password for the account).
Secondly, (I'm assuming you are talking Solaris 10) you can restrict them to their own directory:
where USERID is the special ftp account that you created.
I reckon that ought to do it. Make sure you test it.
Let us know if that doesn't work.
Just install proftp from opencsw. If you've not used opencsw before, try it.
With proftp you can then easily limit access for users to specific directories. I guess you know this! Opencsw means you won't need to compile it (think yum, apt for Solaris).
Most FTP daemons don't have special "limit user to x directory" commands -- they use UNIX file permissions to define who has access to what files like everything else everywhere on the system. If you don't understand UNIX file permissions, you're liable to build yourself a problem in any case here.
