Issue FTP users can browse directory

Nicola

Basic Pleskian
Hi,
I have a problem with ftp users, because when users access to server they can browse other user's directory. How can I resolve?

Thanks
 
Hi,

Maybe do you change something in FTP settings? I checked my server and compare with FTP [is link :)] - I haven't this issue.

So, check next steps:
1. Should be the same.
# grep Root /etc/proftpd.conf
DefaultRoot ~ psacln
#


2. Should be the same.
# cat /etc/ftpchroot
@psacln
#


3. Note group id (in my example is 1003)
# grep psacln /etc/group
psacln:x:1003:
#

4. Check correct group id for you ftp user.
# grep my-ftp-user /etc/passwd
my-ftp-user:x:10009:1003::/var/www/vhosts/my-domain.tld:/bin/false
#

5. Also, compare two different FTP users in your environment.

Did you find any difference?
 
Hi,
these are 2 my ftp users. With these setting I can browse system folders and the only folders I can not enter are those of other domains.

my_ftp_user_1:x:10002:1003::my-domain.tld:/bin/bash
my_ftp_user_2:x:10000:1003::my-domain2.tld:/bin/bash
