Marvik,

I think your anomymous ftp is not enable yet, you can always use SAM to enable it.

Regards,

Jaime.

Hi,
are you sure you want to enable anonymous ftp (easily done via SAM (Networking -> Network Services)) as this can give you a potential security hole.

I suspect you actually want to use the user ftp to transmit files ?

Peter,

You are correct that's what I am looking for.FTP user is used to ftp some oracle arvhies.
His gid is 101 which
dba::101.

How can I go ahead

Run the program called sam (as root). Then select:

Networking and Communications --> press Return
Network Services --> Press Return

Move the cursor to Anonymous FTP and press return. Now press:

TAB a

and you'll get the Actions pulldown box. Type the letter e to Enable the service. Then exit sam with TAB Return, then type e to exit.

Hi (again),
sorry to harp on but please be clear about the problem you are creating by allowing anonymous ftp:

UserA logs on anonymous without password and deposits file(s). Untrusted UserB logs on anonymous without password and pulls a copy of the files.
.
.
You have a potential data security problem.
