secure ftp user on hp-ux 11

[Janis Spencer]

What is the best way to set up a secure ftp user on hpux 11. This will allow users only to access a particular directory. I have suceeded doing this on hpux 10.X, but not 11.X.

The best option I have found is Washington University's FTP daemon wu-ftpd. This can be found at: http://hpux.cae.wisc.edu/
It provides comprehensive logging and message facilities, together with improved access and activity control mechanisms.

Actually, you can apply PHNE_20714 to get the wu-ftpd for 11.0

proftp blows wu-ftp away. The config files are Apache type and the controls that can be administered are excellent.
The product can be found at the HPUX porting and archive center at http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/ then search on proftp

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is there a difference between secure ftp and anonymous ftp? I currently have anonymous ftp setup using what I consider to be the standard ftp. What would make the other ftp daemons better?

Hi,

Terry, there is sure difference between anonymous ftp and secure ftp.

anonymous ftp allows user who doesnot have any account in the system. the default name for the anonymous user is ANONYMOUS and password can be any valid email ID.

secure ftp should have an account and the user logged in with this can be restricted goind to other directries.
secure ftp can be implemented thru RSH

Hope this clears

Do you know where I can get a later version of ProFTP other than 1.2.4 which is found on the hpux site. Seems it has an cpu issue. I am looking for a HPUX binary of 1.25 or later.

Thanks
