http://unix.stackexchange.com – I'm trying to setup a ftp account for a user that has read/write access to one folder: /items/myuser I've set up the account with username 'myuser' in Linux with the adduser command. After that, I've changed my /etc/vsftpd.conf file to: chroot_local_user=NO chroot_list_enable=YES user_config_dir=/etc/vsftpd_user_conf I've also edited the /etc/vsftpd.chroot_list and added 'myuser' to this list. After that, I've edited /etc/vsftpd_user_conf/myuser and added the following line: local_root = /items/myuser After that, I've created this local_root folder and ran the following commands: chow (HowTos)

I've read this tutorial: http://howto.gumph.org/content/setup-virtual-users-and-directories-in-vs... My configuration is as follow:

---vsftpd.conf--- listen=YES anonymous_enable=NO local_enable=YES virtual_use_local_privs=YES write_enable=YES connect_from_port_20=YES pam_service_name=vsftpd guest_enable=YES user_sub_token=$USER local_root=/var/www/s

I added a user using useradd

useradd -g upperdevs myuser

But when I do an id check I didn't see the upperdevs group.

id myuser #uid=1000(myuser) gid=1000(myuser) groups=1000(myuser),27(sudo)

Probably this was the issue why I can't write to certain_dir, by doing ls -l:

drwxrwxr-x 2 root upperdevs 4096 Sep 8 13:35 certain_dir

Anything I'm doing wrong?

I want to be able to backup and restore my home directory of a remote account.

The command I use are:

Backup

ssh myuser@myuser.server.com "tar jcf - ." > backup.tar.bz2

Restore

cat backup.tar.bz2 | ssh myuser@myuser.server.com "tar jxf - ."

I'd like to be sure that all the files are restored or none, even if the server gets rebooted in the middle of a restore.

Any way to achieve what I

I am trying to make a new VSFTPD user but there apears to be a lack of documentation explaing how to make a new user + pass and assign them to a specific directory.

Does anyone perhaps know a simple way to doing this?

At the moment I just created a new user and this is my vsftpd.conf file but I get 530 login authenication error
