Hi,

Is it possible to do ftp with zsh. The system is running hpux 11i.

Hi Khashru,

Check /etc/shells and make sure that zsh exists and it contains the shell name (zsh) specified in the password file.

See man ftpd and man getusershell for more information.

I am able to ftp with other user account they donot have zsh. zsh is also installed in the system.

Hi:

If, as mentioned, you have 'etc/shells' defined an '/usr/bin/zsh' as an entry therein, look at '/etc/ftpd/ftpusers' for the name of the account to which you are trying to FTP. If that account is listed in 'ftpusers' then a remote login to the named local account will be rejected by FTP during a login attempt.

Regards!

Hi,

There is no /etc/shells file in the system. But in /usr/bin there is an entry
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 42 Dec 12 17:12 /usr/bin/zsh -> /ora1/mcifinst/zsh/zsh-RUN/opt/zsh/bin/zsh

i have also checked /etc/ftpusers. there is no entry.

Hi (again):

Create '/etc/shells' with the following entries (one per line):

/sbin/sh
/usr/bin/sh
/usr/bin/rsh
/usr/bin/ksh
/usr/bin/rksh
/usr/bin/csh
/usr/bin/keysh
/usr/bin/zsh

Make the ownership bin:bin and chmod 444 so anyone can read it. Now try your FTP again.

Regards!
