Check each one's description and follow links to related web sites and see if that helps you choose. I would recommend vsftpd. It's fast, secure, supports encryption, and has a very simple (option=value) configuration file format. First off, you would need to add a user 'jadjada' with password 'supersecret' to your debian system. Next, by default each user sees the entire filesystem when they are in the FTP client - they just start in their home directory. They only run into a wall when they try to enter a directory they are not allowed to traverse or when they try to read to/write to a file they do not have permissions to do so. However, if you want only a small portion of the filesystem to be visible to the user, you are able to put certain users in a chroot jail. What this means is that the end user sees a certain folder (such as /home/pijanc/tomato) as the root / of the filesystem. So what a user in FTP sees as /foo/bar is actually /home/pijanc/tomato/foo/bar. This is a good way to go for anonymous users or for users whom you don't completely trust. However, if it's just you or somebody you know personally it's overkill as long as you haven't done anything completely stupid with file permissions. Going back to vsftpd- its configuration file is /etc/vsftpd.conf . The version installed by debian is loaded with comments and some basic values that should make a sane default installation and easy editing of some basic parameters. If you need anything more complex, just ask or google. The manpage (to see type 'man vsftpd.conf') is a pretty good reference for individual commands if you are unsure of what a particular line in the configuration file does. This is as I understand it; however, I am NOT a guru and if I have included any misconceptions or false information in here I hope someone else will correct me :D -- rbmj -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

After reviewing a few differentFTP servers, I decided on Proftpd-basic, which with gadmin-proftpd was easy to set-up just the way I wanted. I restricted, jadjada user to directory /home/pijanc/tomato , I've also created a few other users with similar folders under /home/pijanc/folder , and the best thing I don't have those username under login gdm3, which is nice, because then gdm3 layout would be bloated and I set their shells to /dev/null , which as i understand it correctly means that they can't use things like ssh or am I mistaken?
