Ftp Access

[Lior Gal]

Hi everybody,
I am working on hp-ux 11.0 OS .
I would like to create an ftp user which can access only to a special directory
on the remote system., Once this user is logged on, he should have the
privilege to put/get files.
I tried to use the ftpaccess file to create that user.
The most important thing in my application point of view is that this user
should login to a different root directory( ..so the chroot function should
work here ...).

Any inforemation will help.
Thanks in advance.
Lior.

Why not use anonymous ftp?
this allows you to ftp in to the ftpusers directory, and sets that as the root
directory, you cannot go out of it. You get a couple of directories, including
a pub (public) which is where you can put/get files.

SAM will allow you to set this up, but be aware you may need to apply some
security patches as well/.

You may also be interrested in the ftp sublogin workaround for 11.0. This
process is documented in KBRC00000642 entitled "Workaround for FTP sublogins at
11.0".
