add the user, useradd

Edit /etc/passwd

Hi vijila,

I think what you are looking for is ftpaccess file, man ftpaccess for more info. Don't forget to set -a option at the end of ftpd line within /etc/inetd.conf and then issue inetd -c:

-a Enables the use of the configuration file
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess. (see ftpaccess(4)).

Best regards,
Fabio

Hi,

Could you please tell us what error you are getting or how far you are able to progress with it. If you have got the network link between ftp client and server, then the configuration is very easy and already listed above. OR are you talking about anonymous ftp?
