Hi,

Is it possible to control the user to cd to limited directories when he ftp into HP-UX 11.11?

Define "limited".

For one possibility:

man ftpd

and look for "guest".

An FTP server normally honors the usual file
system permission mechanisms, too.

Hi,

Sorry for overlooked, we actually using sftp instead of ftp. Is there a solution?

That depends on the problem.

Still wondering.

A Forum search for keywords like, say,

sftp chroot

should find some potentially interesting
things, depending on exactly what you wish to
do.
