ftp on hp11.0

[Hanry Zhou]

I have setup ftp accounts no problem by using ftpaccess, however, the problem is when I need to remove a file, I got permission denied message. The file has "640" on it, and owned by the ftp login id.

What I need to do to fix?

ftp> delete a_file_name
553 passwd: Permission denied. (Delete)
ftp>

thanks,

One possible solution:

Edit the file /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess and search for the line starts with "delete" and replace a "no" on that line with "yes". Actually these lines determines the permission and the operation of each commands you give in the ftp session.
