ftpaccess

[John Carver]

I have users that mainly telnet into an 11.00
system. Using ftpaccess how would I grant a
few power users full ftp rights while giving
the regular user only the most basic, such as
uploading, downloading but not deleting, etc.
I don't want to create special ftp users, just
configure for the users I already have. I have gone to the man pages and am having a hard time sorting through the information.

wu-ftpd works like this:

3 classes of users

real -> all privs
guest -> change rooted to see from a certain point down
anonymous -> change rooted but no special access requirements (a general user).

You manage these classes in ftpaccess.


upload, download, nodirs, nodelete are associated with a class of user and a particular filespec.

Here's an example:
