password account tcpip$ftp

[Dario Karlen]

i just wanted to if there is a standard password for the account tcpip$ftp or do I have to set a new one. thanks.

Dario,

the password is generated by TCPIP$CONFIG., so there isn't a standard one.

HTH,

Dario,

the TCPIP$FTP account is only used for the TCPIP FTP service and is not used in any way, which would need a password to be entered.

The account is created by the @SYS$MANAGER:TCPIP$CONFIG procedure during FTP service configuration and will not be used interactively, so the password won't expire.

Is there any problem you're seeing, which causes you to ask this question ?

no, i need an account that has no privileges, i want to connect over FTP and copy some files. i saw in the UAF there's an account called tcpip$ftp so i thought i could use this one.
in this case i have to create a new account without any privileges.

Dario,

you could also set up and use anonymous FTP ( @TCPIP$CONFIG -> optional components - > anonymous FTP ).
