Locking Users to Their Home Directory and Below in FTP Services

Q.

I have set up FTP services and when my users login, they are put in their home directory. The only problem is they can Change Directory (CD) up higher in the directory structure, which I don't want them to do. How do I stop them from doing that?

Changing in Conakry

A.

Dear Changing: Edit the SYS:\ETC\FTPREST.TXT file and change the line ACCESS=ALLOW to ACCESS=GUEST. That should stop your users from changing to a higher directory structure.
