How to restrict Linux FTP users in their own home directory Path?

Question: How to restrict Linux FTP users in their own home directory Path?

Answer:
To restrict FTP users in their own home directory, HC Linux Panel writes the following entries in the vsftpd.conf file at path /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf during the configuration of  FTP Server in the panel. If these entries are missing then you can insert in the vsftpd.conf file at bottom

chroot_local_user=YES 

userlist_deny=YES 

userlist_file=/etc/ftpusers

Save the file and restart Vsftpd service

/etc/init.d/vsftpd restart or service vsftpd restart

 For CentOS7 you would need to add an additional line in vsftpd.conf file located at /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

allow_writeable_chroot=YES

Save the file and restart Vsftpd service

systemctl restart vsftpd

If issue still persists then disable the SELINUX with the help of following steps:
edit the file /etc/sysconfig/selinux to include

SELINUX=disabled
