Can someone tell me how I can setup ftp access on my RH6.2 box so that a
vaild user on that box can ONLY access files in their home directory and
cannot move up,around on the box.

Thanks,
Scott
 

Hi Scott remove your wu-ftp and if you want I created an rpm which can be downloaded from italy1.com ftp. log in as anonymous with no passwd and grab the pure-ftpd rpm, install it and voila'  you have the secure ftp server. read the rpm -qip pure-ftp...... to get additional info on how to start the server, make sure to comment out the line in inetd.conf that says ftp.

Good luck,
REMO
