How to create the ftp users

[ramadashsuresh]

Hai

any one knows share with me

Shalom,

ftp only users are like any other user. To preven command line access use /usr/bin/false as the shell and make sure the shell is listed in /etc/shells

the nologin shell also achieves the same purpose.

local_enable=NO won't help you - this will allow anonymous-only access.
You should use userlist for doing this.
See http://www.vsftpdrocks.org/rpm/ for details.
