[psn]

Hi Guru's,

I have created one ftponly account, and created the usr/bin directory in the home directory of the ftp account. and copied the /usr/bin/ls file to that directory.

After logging the ftp , if i give ls command iam getting the following error message
-----------------------------------------
150 Opening ASCII mode data connection for /usr/bin/ls.
crt0: ERROR couldn't open /usr/lib/dld.sl errno:000000002
226 Transfer complete.
------------------------------------------

i have tried by creating a link file of /usr/bin/ls in the /ftphomedir/usr/bin .
but ls is not working.

Also dir command is also not working

Can any body help in this ..

Regds,

hello

try copying /usr/lib/libdld.sl to /ftphomedir/lib (or /ftphomedir/usr/lib )
and having proper owner.

If this is a restrictive ftp account, copy the files over. Also include the libraries since the commands (like ls) depend on these libraries to function.

Listed below is a HOWTO.

Hi Psn,

You need to copy the libbrary files , in the home directory of the ftp user.

Hi Psn ,

You can try this :

1. Create usr/lib on the home dir of ftp user.

2. keep the same permission.
# chown bin:bin lib

3. copy the required library files to the ftp users ~home/usr/lib/ :

# cp -p filename ~ftphome/usr/lib

(Where filename is the below files.. )

/usr/lib/dld.sl
/usr/lib/libc.2
/usr/lib/libcurses.1
/usr/lib/libdld.2


Hope this will help you,

Enjoy ,

hth,
Raj.
