This should be a simple one (I think), but I can't figure it out...

I have ftpd set up with an ftp-only user chroot'd to the webserver directory (how I want it). Now I want to configure ftp so that my admin user cannot log in through it.

(And yes, I know ftp is insecure and I shouldn't be using it at all, blah blah, let me just get this figured out first OK? )

Thanks in advance...

Create the file /etc/ftpusers, add admin to the file (it's just a text file), and restart ftpd. Should take care of it, I've done it in the past. Ftpusers
