Restricting access of an FTP User to a Specific Directory

You can choose to restrict a FTP Users access to a specific directory. Once you define such a restriction then the user will directly land into this particular directory on logging into the server via FTP. The user will not be able to go to the parent directory. Thus, you can create a configuration which ensures that a particular FTP User can make modifications only to a particular section of your website. To create such a restriction on an existing user follow these steps:

1. Go to the Login page of the Manage Site Interface i.e. http://icannbudgetDOTorg/managesite
    
2. Login using the "Default User's" Username and Password. You can also use any other FTP User's details who has been given System Admin rights.
    
3. Click on the "FTP User Manager" icon
    
4. Click on the applicable "Modify FTP User" button. This is the first button in the "Action" column and is located in the same row as the username whose access you want to restrict to a particular directory
    
5. Select the "Home Directory" for this FTP User. The user will automatically be chrooted to this directory i.e. his access will be restricted to this directory and all its sub-directories. This user will not be able to access any files in a parent directory. The "Home Directory" has to exist at the time of adding the user. Note that you have to enter the path after /domains/wwwDOTicannbudgetDOTorg/ in the "Home Directory" text box.
   
   For example, suppose you want the FTP User to be chrooted to /domains/wwwDOTicannbudgetDOTorg/web/someproj then you need to type "web/someproj" in the textbox and not the preceding /domains/wwwDOTicannbudgetDOTorg/
    
6. Click on the "Submit" button
