    If I connect via ftp with Totalcommander, entering the IP address and the userid and password of a normal user, I get an "unlimited" connection, that is I can go into any directory on the server.

    Is that normal?

    Thanks

    Which FTP server do you use? Proftpd or Vsftpd?

    Do you have a line like
    Code:
    DefaultRoot ~
    in /etc/proftpd.conf? If not, put it in there and restart Proftpd.
