ftp problem

[Jagadesh_2]

I had created a user for ftp. I had added the users entry in /etc/ftpd/ftphosts file too. From remote server i can able to ftp. The problem is after doing ftp as that user i am getting the home dir /. I had assgined /inst/in/in as the home dir in /etc/passwd.

Kindly let me know the reason as why i am not getting the home dir?

Thanks

Check that the permissions are correct for the user's home dir (must be at least u+rx and chown'ed by the user).

Hi Paul,

Do we need to make any modifications in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess?
I had put an entry for this users in /etc/ftpd/ftphosts file.

Jadesh-
We have used the documents in the attached zip file for setting up what you are doing.

They are straight forward.

Best of luck.
