Description Ryan Sawhill 2016-12-20 21:26:05 UTC 
Document URL:

  https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/SELinux_Users_and_Administrators_Guide/chap-Managing_Confined_Services-File_Transfer_Protocol.html#sect-Managing_Confined_Services-File_Transfer_Protocol-FTP_and_SELinux

Section Number and Name:

  15.1. FTP and SELinux

Describe the issue:

  With the release of RHEL 7.3, the "ftp_home_dir" boolean was removed from the SELinux policy. The example at the bottom of this section is no longer valid.

Suggestions for improvement:

  Perhaps instead try to access some system-wide content (maybe httpd_sys_content_t stuff in /var/www/html) and fix by using the ftpd_full_access boolean.

Additional information:
