I have configured a ftp only user "ftpuser" whose home directory is "/home/ftpuser". This user is chroot to its home directory. I want to set permission "-rw-r-rw-" when upload file. For this reason i have given below entry for "ftpuser" in the "/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess" file:
I know in the "/etc/inetd.conf" file "ftp -u UMASK" control the permission privileges but this is Global i.e. if i set permission in the "inetd.conf" file all user have the same permission. But i want to set permission for specific user. I have succeed with this but the problem is that when i want to set this in the ftpaccess file for FTP only user (chroot to his home directory in this case "ftpuser") , it is not working but for the user "minkhan" is working well.
Please help me what i am missing for "ftpuser" to control permission ??
Use This Procedure: -->> 1. Configure the ftpaccess file:
a. cd /etc/ftpd b. cp -p /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess . (OR cp -p /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples/ftpaccess . )
c. vi ftpaccess. At the bottom of the file there is a guestgroup directive 'guestgroup ftponly'. i. Create ftponly group on your system.
2. Modify the /etc/inetd.conf file to enable the use of the ftpaccess file: a. vi /etc/inetd.conf b. Add the -a flag to the ftp daemon. c. ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -a -l
4. Make inetd re-read its configuration: inetd -c
5. Create a bogus shell for users that will only have FTP access to the system: a. vi /usr/bin/ftpshell b. Write following line in the ftpshell file exit 0 c. chmod 555 /usr/bin/ftpshell d. chown bin:bin /usr/bin/ftpshell
6. Create an /etc/shells file: a. vi /etc/shells b. Include necessary shell etc. lines in the file:
7. Now add a user to the system. Use a group that is 'ftponly' and make the user's shell /usr/bin/ftpshell.
8. Use SAM to limit the user to his home directory by setting up the directory in this form: /directory_you_want_them_to_access/./ Note: The /./ is the important key here.
9. Provide the user with an ls command: a. cd /home/username b. mkdir usr c. mkdir usr/bin d. cp -p /sbin/ls usr/bin e. chown -R bin:bin usr f. chmod -R 555 usr
I have followed the exact procedure that you mentioned & ftp only user working. But my problem is when i upload file using this ftponly user i did not get my required permission. For other normal user i have get my required permission.
Did you got my point ??? Can u try in your test environment
