The only choice left (that I could figure out :) is to use something like 'root' => '~' and 'home' => './' which seems to be working until you try to "cd" to a sub-directory (error: ~/~/sub-directory not found). This did the trick for me; Added the lines below to horde/gollem/lib/Sessions.php just above the comment: "Make sure the home parameter lives under root ...." on line 127; if (!empty($ptr['multihomejail'])) { if ($ptr['multihomejail'] == true) { $ptr['home'] = $GLOBALS['gollem_vfs']->getCurrentDirectory(); $ptr['root'] = $ptr['home']; } } and added the parameter 'multihomejail' => true to horde/gollem/config/backends.php . A sample ftp entry looks like this; $backends['hordeftp'] = array( 'name' => 'WebFTP', 'driver' => 'ftp', 'preferred' => '', 'hordeauth' => true, 'params' => array( 'hostspec' => 'servername', 'port' => 21, 'pasv' => true, 'vfsroot' => '', 'permissions' => '700' ), 'loginparams' => array( ), 'root' => '', 'home' => '', 'multihomejail' => true, 'clipboard' => true, 'attributes' => array('type', 'name', 'edit', 'download', 'modified', 'size', 'permission', 'owner', 'group') ); Best regards, Emre Sezginer horde-tr team horde-tr.at.metu.edu.tr Wed, 12 Mar 2008 16:56:17 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6435#t43748 Did you try root = '~' and home = ''? home = './' doesn't look correct to me. Thu, 13 Mar 2008 11:14:27 +0000 https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/6435#t43800 Yes. It leads to the error: "Backend Configuration Error: Home directory not below root."
