Hi,

What type of configuration you want to set?

There is a ftpaccess file which you can set.

#man ftpaccess

#man ftpgroups

HTH,

Hi;

By default hp unix support ftp service, until and unless some one has made any changes in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess , /etc/inetd.conf and /var/adm/inetd.sec.

hi priyarajan,
By default ftp services enable in the hp-ux server.At first time there is no any ftpaccess file.You can get the ftpaccess file by following procedure.

The following specifies how to enable or disable the
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
â ¢ To enable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -a option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file.
For example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -a -l -d
â ¢ To disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -A option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file.
For example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -A -l -d
Otherwise, you can disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file by not
specifying any option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file.
NOTE Every time you change the /etc/inetd.conf file, you must recompile
the /etc/inetd.conf file by using the command inetd -c.

for detail you can see the attached document.
