FTPACCESS

ramesh_6 — Tue, 16 Sep 2003 18:36:47 GMT

Hi,

I am running B.11.00. One of my user wants to have an FTP account with some special settings.

He wants to allow only one IP address to access the ftp server with the created FTP account. Is there a way we can configure the same using ftpaccess file?

Any help strongly appreciated.

Actually a better bet is to use /var/adm/inetd.sec and add an entry for ftp just specifying the ip address of the machine you want to allow access to.

Hi,

You can use /var/adm/inetd.sec but it is global and it will restrict ftp access to all the users.

Create a file called ftphosts under /etc/ftpd directory with the following entry

allow user ip_address

Look at the man page of ftphosts.
