How to setup anonymous FTP sub-logins?

[Ekkehard Schulz]

Hello, I have setup an anonymous FTP access (HP-UX 11 ) and now I'm trying to setup a sub-login. I followed the instructions step by step, but when I try to use the sub-login I get always the following.
slbhak> ftp opel
Connected to opel.
220 opel FTP server (Version 1.1.214.7 Thu Aug 10 09:57:38 GMT 2000) ready.
Name (opel:xxx): ftp
331 Guest login ok, send your complete e-mail address as password.
Password:
230 Guest login ok, access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> user subftp
530 Already logged in.
Login failed.
ftp>

The subftp user is created according to the manual (
~ftp/etc/passwd,.... , home directory ~/ftp/subftp, access rights).

The same message 'Already logged in' I receive also, if I don't use anonymous FTP. If I'm connected as a normal user via FTP and I'm trying to use the command 'user' to switch to another user the same message is displayed.

Do I have to change the configuration of the ftpd or what is the reason for that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Looks like the ftp sublogin feature was removed from 11.0. Here is a workaround suggested. Try this link from itrc,

Hope this helps.

Thank you for your answers. Now I'm using the sublogin feature of the WU-FTP. The document KBRC00000642 (mentioned in the links given by you) describes how to set up these sublogins.
If somebody else is following the instructions keep in mind.
The patch mentioned in the document is superseded by PHNE_23949 and don't forget to add a class entry in the ftpaccess file, if it is created the first time.
