====== Ubuntu - FTP - VSFTP - Chroot users in VsFtpd ======

To jail / chroot users (not the VsFtpd service), there are three choices. Search for **"chroot_local_users"** on the file and consider one of the following: 

----

===== 1. All users are jailed by default: =====

<code bash>
vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
</code>

and modify as:

<code bash>
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=NO
</code>

----

===== 2. Just some users are jailed: =====

<code bash>
vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
</code>

and modify as:

<code bash>
chroot_local_user=NO
chroot_list_enable=YES
</code>


Create the file **/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list** with a list of the jailed users.

----

===== 3. Just some users are "free": =====

<code bash>
vi /etc/vsftpd.conf
</code>

and modify as:

<code bash>
chroot_local_user=YES
chroot_list_enable=YES
</code>

Create the file **/etc/vsftpd.chroot_list** with a list of the "free" users.
