FTP Issue

[Anshumali]

Hi,

I have setup a user as restricted FTP use.
1. The config works fine and user is unable to switch the directory as we desired.
2. The home directory works as chrooted dir and user see the contents only below that as desired.

Issue is:
1. When we initiate FTP from windows FTP client, the connection establishes and then issue of ls command shows that file listings.But ftp from another hpux box for the same account, logs in well but when we do the ls command, there is no data shown.
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
226 Transfer complete ---No Data
ftp>
2. Any of the GUI client like WS_FTP and other also doesnt show any data but they connect fine.

3. Same from windows FTP gives the required o/p/
ftp> ls
200 PORT command successful.
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for file list.
-----files comes----

Any help? :)

Thanks
Anshu

hi,

Just an suggest:

Are you sure of your command is ls
in my case, with ftp chroot, ls is a link to command dir

Check for you if it's not the same item.

Shalom,

Check the permissions of the chrooted ls command. Its probably not correctly owned.

Shalom,

I hope this is the cause. I see the permission as /usr/bin/ls on the FTP Server as
-r-xr-xr-x 7 bin bin 28672 May 5 2003 /usr/bin/ls

What/where i need to put as a chrooted command. The restristed user falls into FTP only group. Looks like i am missing something, but where....... :(

hi,

Missing is the copy of /usr/bin/ls to chroot directory

Putting the copy of the ls command in chrooted directory solved the issue.
Cheers!
