[SunHELP] Ftp Account

[Shain Miley]

If you use proftpd (proftpd.net) you can set this up in the proftpd.conf file
Example:

DefaultRoot                     ~ clients


This is one of the directives in the .conf file it means the group clients (from /etc/group) is chrooted and not allowed to leave their home dir.
