How to enable ftp access

[Robert Peregrin]

Hi I have 2 user accounts. One of them (mn011704) has ftp access to one server and the other (rp010650) doesn't have ftp access to the same server.

I need help to verify which configuration file I should edit. The file /etc/ftpd/ftpusers is not found in the server.

The file /var/adm/inetd.sec contains the following entries:


tftp allow \
172.24.34.80 \
172.24.34.81 \
172.30.102.166 \
172.30.102.167 \
172.30.81.215 \
172.30.102.168 \
172.20.7.47 \
172.20.7.48 \
172.20.7.49 \
172.30.81.216 \
172.30.81.217 \
172.30.81.218 \
172.24.30.40 \
172.20.110.11

I was thinking if there is config file for ftp where the user account "mn011704" could be found, then I could also add rp010650.

Hi,
Is the login shell of both users are same?
If not, add the shell of the denied user in /etc/shells.
Also check syslog.log for the error messages while you are trying to logging.

Hi,

/etc/shells is not found. There was no error found in syslog when I ftp to the server where I have received access denied message.

Hi,
What is the default shell of these users?
Check it in /etc/passwd file.
#cat /etc/passwd | grep
#cat /etc/passwd | grep

Login Shell of both users are same or not ??

Thanks Bijeesh. The default shell difference was the reason. Now both user accounts can ftp to the servers.

What did you change?

You can make one. Just be sure to include
all the shells which different users may use.
