ftp: access restriction

[Insu Kim]

If a normal user opens a ftp connection, he/she first sits on his/her home directory and is able to change his/her home working directory to upper directory.

I'd like to restrict a user to access upper directory with "cd .."

Is it possible and if it is, how ?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

If you can't use the accounts as restricted,
you could try setting 'ftpaccess' config. There
is a man page for this. If this is not what
you are after suggest you look at 'wu_ftpd'
from the porting centre.

Hi:

Look look at the man pages for 'ftpaccess' (man 4 ftpaccess). Setting up the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file with the 'guestgroup' item will provide you the ability you seek.

This functionality is represented in 11.x versions of ftp as based on Washington University's version of ftp. It is thus known as "wu-ftp". If you are running 10.x, you can obtain a copy from one of the HP-UX porting centers, like:

Hi,

You can setup restricted ftp access using ftpacces. Do a "man ftpaccess" for more info. You can also use this link to try out the ftpaccess configuration,
