How to prevent anonymous ftp users executing chmod

[Kevin Ray]

Is it possible to prevent anonymous ftp users from executing the chmod command.

[Rita C Workman · Accepted solution]

Yes, by making all anonymous ftp users grouprights guest...
You can use the ftpaccess file to configure what group rights users have and can do. /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
To activate this file in inetd.conf add at the end of the ftp stream .... -a.

There's been a few discussion about this..you can review them using the Search at left

Hi Kevin,

Make sure the shell for user ftp is defined as '/usr/bin/false', and that user ftp is member of group 'guest'

Best regards,
