I have a client who would like to FTP into their website. I want to be able to configure the FTP account to only go into that webapp. I've tried to follow a few tutorials, but had no luck. Thank you for your answer. I have gone in and executed permission
However, when I login it does not seem to go directly into the application folder which is a WordPress instance. Is there different login procedures for an additional user? I have gone through and followed all the directions setting all the permissions and then granting the primary user permissions again (Step 7). I then attempted to create a symlink for the secondary user in the home directory. However, when I login via SFTP with the secondary user the only information in /home/secondary_user are these files: .bash_logout .bash_profile .bashrc .emacs .zshrc There is no link to the web application. I must've missed the step, but I've gone through several times and cannot find where it is. asked 15 May '13, 23:29 FredFred |
The procedure for setting the appropriate permissions for your application directory is here: Granting Access to Specific Users Please note that you must follow all of those steps. If you want the FTP user to be in that specific directory immediately after login, then use your FTP client connection opens to specify the "initial remote directory" for the connection. Most modern FTP clients have a setting for this. It's not something we can configure on the server side. answered 16 May '13, 12:41 seanf |
You can also provide a symlink with a command like this
Now when your client logs in, they can change directory to answered 19 Jun '13, 22:52 blogjunkie |
