how to enable FTP in HPUX

[samarah]

good day... anybody have an idea how to enable ftp in hpux?

THanks,

[Md. Farhan A Azam]

Hi,

By default its enable. Any user can ftp to the server but make sure that the user is not there in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers. If user is there in the file then comment that line.

Hope it will work.


thnx...farhan

thanks for the reply...

as per checking ftpusers file does not exist in the system.

# ls -rlt /etc/ftpd/ftpusers
/etc/ftpd/ftpusers not found

Thanks,

[samarah]

do we have any other parameters that we need to modify?

[Matti_Kurkela]

By default, the ftp service is started by inetd. That means there should be a configuration line for ftp in /etc/inetd.conf.

HP-UX 11.23 version of ftp service configuration line in inetd.conf:

ftp stream tcp6 nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -l

If the FTP is disabled, this line may be commented out or removed. See /usr/newconfig/etc/inetd.conf for a factory default version of this configuration file, and copy the necessary line from there to your current configuration.

If the FTP service is enabled, but you cannot connect, there may be a hostname/IP address based restriction in /var/adm/inetd.sec. See "man inetd.sec" for more information.

only 3 things need to be cheked for ftp

1. inetd.conf >>> has ftp information if its available or not
2. inetd.sec >>> enable/diable ftp for specific scenarios
3. ftpusers file >>> it tell which all users are not allowed to do ftp.
