Overview<\/h2>\n

You can create custom jailed shell mounts to let users access additional directories on the server. In cPanel & WHM version 78 and later, you can also allow custom access to files.<\/p>\n

Create custom mounts<\/h2>\n

You can create custom mounts for files and directories.<\/p>\n

\n
Important:<\/div>\n
\n

Custom mounts are read-only<\/strong> for jailshell users.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Add directories to a custom mount<\/h3>\n

To add directories to a custom mount, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Create the \/var\/cpanel\/jailshell-additional-mounts<\/code> file with your preferred editor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  2. \n

    In this new file, add each directory as an absolute directory path on a separate line. For example:\n<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n\n\n
    \n
    1\n<\/span>2\n<\/span>3\n<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n
    		\n
    \/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>local<\/span>\/<\/span>test1<\/span>\n\/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>local<\/span>\/<\/span>test2<\/span>\n\/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>local<\/span>\/<\/span>test3<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    Warning:<\/div>\n
    \n
    Do not<\/strong> use relative paths or<\/strong> append trailing slashes to the directory names. For more information, read the Specifying paths section below.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  3. \n
    Save the file.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    Add files to a custom mount<\/h3>\n
    To add files to a custom mount, perform the following steps:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. \n
      Create the \/var\/cpanel\/jailshell-additional-files<\/code> file with your preferred editor.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
    2. \n
      In this new file, add each file as an absolute directory path on a separate line. For example:\n<\/p>\n
      \n
      \n\n\n
      \n
      1\n<\/span>2\n<\/span>3\n<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n
      		\n
      \/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>local<\/span>\/<\/span>test1<\/span>.txt<\/span>\n\/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>local<\/span>\/<\/span>test2<\/span>.txt<\/span>\n\/<\/span>usr<\/span>\/<\/span>local<\/span>\/<\/span>test3<\/span>.txt<\/span><\/code><\/pre>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
      \n
      Warning:<\/div>\n
      \n
      Do not<\/strong> use relative paths. For more information, read the Specifying paths section below.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
    3. \n
      Save the file.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Specifying paths<\/h3>\n
      You cannot<\/strong> use relative paths, and you can\u2019t append a trailing slash to the directory names. For example, if you wish to add the \/usr\/local\/test1<\/code> directory, add it in the following format:<\/p>\n
      \n
      \/usr\/local\/test1<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
      Do not<\/strong> enter the path in these formats:<\/p>\n
        \n
      • test1<\/code> \u2014 This is a relative path.<\/li>\n
      • test1\/<\/code> \u2014 This is a relative path and contains a trailing slash.<\/li>\n
      • \/usr\/local\/test1\/<\/code> \u2014 This contains a trailing slash.<\/li>\n
      • \/usr\/localtest1<\/code> \/usr\/local\/test2<\/code> \/usr\/local\/test3<\/code> \u2014 These are not on separate lines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
        Warning:<\/div>\n
        \n
        If you do not<\/strong> format the file and directory paths correctly, your server may fail.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        Unmount a custom mount<\/h2>\n
        \n
        Important:<\/div>\n
        \n
        You cannot<\/strong> remove an entry in the \/var\/cpanel\/jailshell-additional-mounts<\/code> file to unmount a custom mount. To unmount the custom mount, use the umount<\/code> command.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
        To unmount the \/usr\/local\/example<\/code> directory, run the following command, where username<\/code> represents the cPanel user:\n<\/p>\n
        \n
        umount \/home\/<\/span>virtfs\/username\/<\/span>usr\/local\/<\/span>example<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n
        The system does not<\/strong> unmount custom mounts when the user logs out of the jailed shell account.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
