Hi all,

I need to create a ftp user preventing telnet. He will only get access to his home directory. Can anyone help me?

Use restricted ksh as shell type to that user so that user can able to access only his home directory.

Do you want to block ftp user to use telnet then block it with /etc/profile with your previous. thread response.

Another way is to setup the /etc/passwd entry as,

guest1::100:92:Guest Account:/ftp/./incoming:/etc/ftponly

When guest1 successfully logs in, the ftp server will chroot
(/ftp) and then chdir (/incoming). The guest user will only be
able to access the directory structure under /ftp (which will
look and act as / to guest1), just as an anonymous FTP user
would.

Change this to suit your requirement.

that control to login with guest1 with telnet. Try to put /etc/ftponly in /etc/shells file.
