Installed this ftp server. I set up the userlist so that those who are in the system itself can use their account for ftp .

Sometimes I need to give FTP rights to a user who is not in the ubunt itself, and this user should not see all the folders, for him, for example, I will define / myrootfolder in the root and everything else should not be displayed, it is connected and immediately located in this folder.

To understand what I’m talking about, an example: in Windows I used a file-zilla server , it was there that you could configure everything that way.

For vsftpd I did not find the necessary information.

In general, can this be done in this FTP server?

    can. but, in my opinion, ftp is the wrong decision. It is much more universal and safer, from my point of view, to use the so-called sftp ( ftp over ssh ). for this option, there are clients for all popular modern operating systems. - aleksandr barakin

    sftp is also perfect for the first voiced task ("those who are in the system can use their account"), and user passwords will not be transmitted over the Internet in the open form, as in the case of ftp . - aleksandr barakin
  • thanks, I will try ssh - sanu0074
