In a nutshell...<br><br>I&#39;m using ftp right now (proftpd) and I have it configured the way I want and it works well... I just wanted to update to the latest version or see if there were any security updates and found the website unaccessible...<br>
<br>As for the chroot features... I currently use them for proftpd and I purchased the commercial version of SSH that includes chroot. I&#39;m psyched to see that they&#39;ll be supporting it soon since it&#39;s a feature I look for.<br>
<br>However, my current plan is to reimplement my current configuration using vsftpd, because at least in my eyes, vsftpd is a known quantity and under development.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 13, 2008 at 2:06 PM, Brian J.

&gt; Aaron&gt; On a slight tangent: Do you have a specific need for ftp? I&#39;d<br>
&gt; Aaron&gt; suggest looking into using sftp instead (the s stands for<br>
&gt; Aaron&gt; secure). It&#39;s available as part of openssh.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; The problem with sftp is that it doesn&#39;t offer chroot() style jails<br>
&gt; for ftp users and accounts. &nbsp;This can be worked around using the<br>
&gt; scponly hack which is out on the net.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Now maybe I&#39;m a little out of date, I&#39;d love to know that more recent<br>
&gt; versions of OpenSSH support chroot&#39;d sftp jails.<br>
<br>
</div>Actually, there is recent development on that front:<br>

<br>
I don&#39;t believe it&#39;s part of any release of OpenSSH yet, but presumably<br>
soon.<br>
