Thanks, I found the solution, or more precise- found out where I was making 
mistake with UserAlias (I didn't specify second "argument"- real username, 
and also "AuthAliasOnly on" was missing) when setting up anonymous access.

[Proftpd-user] chroot users to their home

Hi,
I'm new to proftpd, but in the config file I read:

# To cause every FTP user to be "jailed" (chrooted) into their home
# directory, uncomment this line.
DefaultRoot ~

but even enabling the DefaultRoot option, the users can change to directory 
upper their home, so they are not really chrooted/jailed. Is there something 
else that must be done?

Thanks,
Luca

[Proftpd-user] Quota on virtual users

Hi all

I know ProFTPd supports virtual user and quota, but doesn't it support quota on
virtual users?

Best regards,
Martin Kruse Jensen

cron job that checks for quotas would be a good idea too... :)

do you use mod_vroot?
do you run proftpd from root account?
do you use virtual hosts?
where is the defaultroot option defined?

I don't know, how to check this?

Yes.

> do you use virtual hosts?

No.

> where is the defaultroot option defined?

in the protftpd.conf file I'm using.

Got that. :)  Weekly check for hitting the hard quota, monthy check for hitting the soft quota and a friendly
reminder that the account has quotas enabled.

All I'm missing is the immediate notification to the user and sysadmins at the moment the user exceeds their
quota via FTP.

After you added the option, did you reload the config or restart
ProFTPd?  The DefaultRoot option works fine for me.

ftpshut _does not_ shut the daemon down:
