com.aoindustries.aoserv.examples.ftp.AddFtpGuestUser

public final class AddFtpGuestUser
extends Object

An FTP Guest User is a restricted Linux Account. The account is allowed to transfer files via FTP only. The account may not be used for use as an email inbox. If the user logs into the server via SSH or telnet, they are allowed to change their password and then they are immediately disconnected.

FTP Guest Users may only transfer files into and out of their home directories. By making the home directory of the user be the /www/sitename/webapps directory, the account is effectively restricted to accessing and updating the content of a single web site. Keep in mind, however, that the user may still upload code that can access files outside the site.
