switch off ftp

[Oliver Schmitz]

Dear all,

I would like to switch of ftp on my HP-UX 11.11 maschine and likely replace it with sftp.

How to do the first task and where to get a free sftp client?

Thank you very much for some hints on this.

BR,

Oliver

Install ssh which contains sftp

you can then disable ftp by commenting the /etc/services and /etc/inetd.conf for the appropriate entries.

Thanks,

Let do as follows:
#vi /etc/services
# rem this lines
#ftp 21/tcp # File Transfer Protocol (Control
save and then
#inetd -c
that's all

Thanks for this hints. I switched ftp and some other services off and I hope for a more secure system.
