Hello,

Create a file called "ftpusers" in /etc/ftpd and chown bin:bin. Enter the usernames you want to disable access from using FTP.

#cat /etc/ftpd/ftpusers
root
abcd

Here, root and abcd cant access FTP.

Hi man,

Did you check for the inetd.sec file?
This file is located in /var/adm/ directory.

Are those server's IP address presented from this file? If not, add those IP address like:
fpt allow IP_address
Please show me the content this file.

Goodluck

Can you able to login with telnet using newly created users. I hope it is because of password which you are using?

By default if FTP is enabled then users able to use ftp.

Yajuvendra,

Seems its problem with configureing wsftp32.
If you can able to login from DOS prompt , you can also login from wsftp32. Check your configuration , including username and password.

You can check the wsftp readme file :
