creating an FTP server

[HP-UX User_1]

I need assistence with configuring a unix box to be an FTP server and also what do i need to do in case there is a firewall in our network.

Install this:

http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=WUFTPD26

It may already be installed:
swlist -l product | grep -i ftp

To enable full inbound, outbound ftp to this hp-ux server you will need to at least forward port 21, perhaps port 20.

Do edit ftpaccess and disable root ftp access, its a security hazard.

you might also look at the man page for ftpd lots of useful stuff here including how to permit anonymous FTP - look no passwords.
