Change VSFTP daemon’s root directory
Changing the root directory of the FTP server (the one you use for anonymous login for example) is quite easy. You just need to change the home directory of the user.Here we are moving the vsftpd root directory from /var/ftp to /opt/share/ftp. Tested on Centos 6.5.
# First, verify that the target directory does not exists ll /opt/share/ftp # Should return an error message. If not, move it. # Stop vsftpd service service vsftpd stop # Move the home directory of the user and set the SELinux context usermod -m -d /opt/share/ftp chcon -t public_content_t /opt/share/ftp # Finally restart vsftpd service service vsftpd start
