This page allows you to configure which directories virtual server owners and users with FTP access can see when logging in via FTP. By default, FTP clients can access the entire filesystem, including directories like `/etc` and `/home`. However, this may give away information that you'd prefer users not to be able to see.

Each row in the table on this page defines the virtual server or servers to match, and the directory they are limited to. In the Apply to server and sub-servers column, you can either choose all virtual servers, or a single domain (which will include all it's sub-servers automatically). If the latter option is chosen and the All except server box is checked, the restriction will effect servers other than the one chosen.

The Restrict to directory column determines where matching virtual servers are limited to when logging in via FTP. The most commonly used option is Users' home directories, which will limit the domain owner to the virtual server's home, and any FTP users to their own sub-directories, typically under `homes`.

In a standard Virtualmin installation, every domain's home directory has `750` permissions, which prevents users from other domains accessing it, regardless of FTP directory restrictions. So locking down FTP users on this page does not add that much to the security of your system.

In addition, the restrictions on this page do not apply to PHP scripts, CGI programs or virtual server owners logging in via SSH. At the present time, there is no way to lock them down, although home directory permissions do still apply.
