ftp access denied

[Yashodhan Deo]

When ever any user is using ksh shell and tries to ftp then he gets permission/access denied error. If he uses the sh shell he is able to ftp successfully. What are the changes needed to be made for ftp access in ksh.

Hi,

you should make the following entry in the file /etc/shells

/usr/bin/ksh (or /bin/ksh) depends on which you are using
You can find this out by typing "type ksh"

This should do the trick

Hi Franky

There was some problem in the passwd file due to which the second problem occured (access denied for root), I rectified it, Now I am able to access/ftp/telnet it properly.

Thanks once again
