To achieve this need following things :
Method 1#
By changing User's Home directory
Make sure following line exists
chroot_local_user=YES
Set User HOME Directory to /var/www/
, if you want to change for existing user then you can use :
usermod --home /var/www/ username
then set required permission on /var/www/
Method 2#
If you don't want to change user's Home directory then you can use:
chroot_local_user=YES
local_root=/ftphome/$USER
user_sub_token=$USER
About user_sub_token
:
Automatically generate a home directory for each virtual user, based on a template.
For example, if the home directory of the real user specified via guest_username is
/ftphome/$USER, and user_sub_token is set to $USER, then when virtual user test
logs in, he will end up (usually chroot()'ed) in the directory /ftphome/test.
This option also takes affect if local_root contains user_sub_token.
Create directory and setting up permission :
mkdir -p /ftphome/{test,user1,user2}
chmod 770 -R /ftphome
chown -R ftp. /ftphome
usermod -G ftp test
Once restart vsftpd
and test your setup.
