FTP question

Scott Guy_2 — Thu, 27 Jan 2005 15:28:13 GMT

Ok,
I've set up a new user who needs FTP access to send some daily billing files. I assigned them a restricted shell (/bin/rksh) and made their "home" directory the directory where they should drop the files.
In my testing, if I simply telnet and login as that user, I can't change directory to any other directory, which is the way I want it. BUT, via FTP, I can traverse all the way down to root and anywhere else. I need to prevent that.
Any tips?

Hi Scott,

Use ftpaccess to control the id behavior,

The itrc doc id is KBRC00008355.

Hope this helps.

ftp can be set up with chroot as well.

One of those should do it.

Bastille will provide instructions for ftp chroot access as well if you run it against your server.
