Yes. It leads to the error: "Backend Configuration Error: Home 
directory not below root."



Emre.
Did you try root = '~' and home = ''? home = './' doesn't look correct to me.

Hi,



If you have multiple home directories on the ftp server like;



/home_1/user_a

/home_2/user_b



you cannot define a static 'root' => '/home' and a 'home' => 
Auth::getAuth() line to jail a user to the home (in conf/backends.php).



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')

);
