I've configured Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server as FTP server (vsftpd)
for
<br>
our local users, all works fine,,, but now its required to
create some
<br>
non-interactive user accounts who are not allowed to use SSH or
local
<br>
login, but only FTP access to their home directory.
<br>
<br>
I've added user with -s option with /usr/sbin/nologin to
disable
<br>
shell access, but this user is not able to FTP as well, .... any
<br>
solution.??? how to add users with only FTP access to their home

Why do you use something in /usr/sbin/ ?
<br>
Normally you would use /bin/false
<br>
In any case you need to add it to your /etc/shells otherwise it is
not recognised as something that is allowed to run.

Thanks for you quick reply .. said link is for proftpd and I'm using
vsftpd ...<br>
<br>
I've gone through your said solution... but situation is a
particular ftp user is not able to login interactively (ssh or
telnet ). thats ok<br>
but whenever he tries to ftp into server he gets "500 OOPS: vsftpd:
refusing to run with writable root inside chroot()<br>
Login failed."<br>
