I'm Using ProFTP on webmin, Ubuntu 14.04.



I need to make FTP accounts for clients, who are limited to just a specified folder with no other access to the server.



I would prefer if it was secure.



I originally had it working by creating a new user under system->users, I was able to log in but also able to navigate the directory tree.



I saw on another post that it was the incorrect way to do this.



If it helps, I'm trying to recreate FTP Accounts -> New User on cPanel. Like



Thanks for the help!

          • @Anthony is the FTP service running? Check using service proftpd status. Can you post your configuration file to paste.ubuntu.com and add a link in the question? A Connection Refused indicates that the service isn't running, and if that happened after editing the configuration, some mistake might have happened.
