Why is the ftp welcome message taking so long to appear on the default install? And why are users not chrooted to their home directory by default? Should I go in and change this config manually or is there a way to do it from virtualmin.
I’m not sure why the welcome message is taking so long to display, it usually only takes a few moments. Are you sure your DNS is working correctly?
As for chrooting – it’s tough to pick a default that pleases everyone
However, that’s easy to tweak in Virtualmin – just go into Limits and Validation -> FTP Directory Restrictions, and you can activate a Directory Restriction for User Home Directories.
