Strange FTP issue

[vizsion]

Hi all,

Ok, I've got a wierd FTP problem. Whenever I create a new account and connect to it via WS_FTP Pro, it connects fine. But, it doesn't display the user's public_html, etc. folders. Instead, it displays all of the folders in the server's file system (/bin, /boot, /dev, /etc, /home, /lib....etc.) Anyone have any ideas on what's going on here?

Which ftp daemon is the server using? If it's proftpd, then IIRC, that will show the full disk path and so if you set the default login dir to / it'll go to the top of the root tree. IF that's the case, then remove that from your FTP client.

It's using pure-ftpd.

Where would I set the login directory? When i add a new acount, there are no fields to specify the login directory.

That's odd. pure-ftpd should be chroot and not allow you to see /, if you're not the server administrator you should check with your web hosting provider. If you are, then I'd suggest checking /etc/pure-ftpd.conf and see whether this is set:

ChrootEveryone yes

I checked the conf file, and it was set to YES. So, I changed it, restarted the FTP daemon, and tried logging in again. Same thing. I rebooted the server, and still getting the same thing. I'm lost here.
