    By default, this should not be allowed. Each FTP user should be "caged" in his own home directory. What is the value of the following directive in /etc/pure-ftpd.conf on your server?

    Code:
    # Cage in every user in his home directory
    
    ChrootEveryone yes
    If this is on, each cPanel account user should only be able to traverse that account's home directory when logged in via FTP.

    This is configuration in mu etc/pure-ftpd.conf file:

    # Cage in every user in his home directory

    ChrootEveryone yes

    every user can view my root files , but can`t edit them.

    Default Please submit a ticket

    This should not be happening in a default cPanel configuration of Pure-FTPd. Please submit a ticket so that we may investigate this directly, because what you describe is an unusual situation and should not be happening.
