FTP rights for users

[Kiran_27]

Hi,
I am not able to ftp to a HP UX server when I login as non-root user.
When I login as root user I am able to FTP.
How can I evoke the ftp rights to other users.

Hi Kiran,

If the user changed his/her default shell as shown agains the login in /etc/passwd and that shell is not listed in the /etc/shells file then you could get the problem. If this is the case, add the shell to the /etc/shells file

If the user's login is listed in the file /etc/ftpusers it will deny them from accessing ftp.

Hi Kiran,

If you are getting the message: FTP: Access Denied, check your /etc/shells. If there is no entry for a user's shell in this file they will not be able to remote login.

HTH.

What is the error meassage which you are getting while login using non-root users.
Pls verify that those non-root accounts are not listed in the 'etc/ftpusers' file.If so remove those entries and restart ftpd deamon and try.

You will also be prevented from ftp'ing if your password is either NULL or has expired.
