Allow FTP Access to an existing user HP-UX 11.00

  • Follow


Hi All,

I have a user whom is allowed to telnet to a server, howerver, when
this user attempts to ftp to the server, he gets the error:

"login failed".

I have been in SAM and thought maybe there was a place to assign the
user ftp rights, but couldn't find anything.

The server is running HP-UX 11.00.

How do I assign ftp access to this account?

If you are using the 'ftpd -a' mode for ftpd (check /etc/inetd.conf), you'll
want to look at the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess and /etc/ftpd/ftphosts, as well as
making sure the user's login shell is in /etc/shells and the user's name is NOT
in /etc/ftpd/ftpusers.

There are man pages for all of those: 'man ftpaccess', 'man ftpusers', 'man
ftphosts', 'man shells', 'man ftpd'.

To restrict access to certain users, you'll want to modify ftphosts...

Perhaps there is some stuff configured in the ftpaccess file - man
ftpaccess may get you started.

To my experience the problem is most times NOT the ftpaccess, but  the 
file /etc/shells.

What shell does the user have in /etc/passwd?
Is this shell (full path) entered at the file /etc/shells?
