I have an FTP server set up where, off the root, there is a file structure laid out by city. Underneath each city's folder are more folders organized by project. I would like to be able to restrict my guest users (using a specific login/password) in such a way that they are unable to view the folders under the city name, but instead have be brought directly to them via an FTP link.



Example:



/

--City1

----Project1

----Project2

----Project3

--City2

----Project4

--City3

----Project5



link: ftp://ftp.company.com/City2/Project4

          To do this, when you create the user you set their home directory to be for example /City2/Project4. You also configure the proftpd DefaultRoot directive in proftpd.conf to lock the user to their home directory.

          • Unfortunately, we use one guest account for all users. I can't restrict to a specific project directory without creating hundreds of accounts that may only be used one time.
