ftp access

Kamlesh Shete — Thu, 02 Aug 2001 17:34:39 GMT

Hi all,

I am trying to setup restricted ftp access on 11.0.

Have already setup the passwd entry (with /./), ftp access file etc. But when I try to ftp for that particular user I cannot use ls, pwd or see any data.

I need to know exactly what directories and files need to be copied to the user home dir and with what permissions.

Thx,

SK

Under the ftp users home create a bin directory. Put the commands that you want in there and put a permission of 555. You can also reference the man page for ftpd.

I personally use proftpd on a lot of my servers. It allows you to restrict everything you could ever want with ease.
http://www.proftpd.net/.

It's easy to install, & configure.
Here's an example of a user config

User oracle
Group users
AnonRequirePassword on

AllowAll

DenyAll

Oracle can only see /oracle and nothing else. You clan limit everything you want.

Just a suggustion.

Good luck,

Brian

Under /./ you should create :

mkdir -p usr/bin
cp /sbin/ls usr/bin
cp /bin/pwd usr/bin

mkdir etc
cp /etc/passwd etc #remove unnecessary line in the passwd file.
cp /etc/group etc

Change the permission to 555.
