ftpaccess

[jerry1]

Well, I have set this up before but can't
remember how and the docs don't hold true.

All I require is to setup an ftp user account
and limit them to read only and no cd out of
the home path specified in /etc/passwd.

user1:ddd:100:10:user ftp account:/ftp/./read_dir:/etc/ftponly

The /./ does not work.
And I can't find anything in the man for
disabling "ls" for user1 and what needs to
go in ftpaccess for user1 if at all.

What's missing??

Hello,

If your Server has HP Secure Shell, You can easily do this with chroot.

Chroot disallows an user to traverse above a specified path. Chroot setup is pretty simple and it is more secure than normal ftp as it provides the power of SSH.

Refer

http://docs.hp.com/hpux/internet/index.html#HP-UX%20Secure%20Shell

For more information.


If you are in need of FTP only

Hope this helps

in /etc/shells add /usr/bin/false

set the shell to /etc/bin/false for the user
and add a /./ in the homedir in the pwd file.

and do the guestgroup thing u wrote u'rself.
