Hi ,
I really need your help badly .Please help me to resolve this issue. I
created a user ftptest assigned to group ftpuser . What we want is user
shouldn't navigate from one directory to another while doing FTP.It means
he should confine to his home directory throug out FTP session.
I can restrict the user to his home directory by invoking restrict
shell (i.e rsh) but stil user can navigate during FTP session .

Thanks for your help in advance
Niraj

Look at the script /usr/samples/ftp/anon.ftp

Hi Niraj,

an elaborate explanation on how to do this is available from IBM directly:

HTH,

The anonymous ftp, as implemented by IBM and suggested by others on this list,
is one good way to go.

Another would be to install the highly configurable (similar directives to
the Apache web server) ProFTPD package. You can get the source code from
http://www.proftpd.org/ , where you can also find all the info you need.

Precompiled binaries are also available at http://www.bullfreeware.com/
(installp format) and at http://www-1.ibm.com/servers/aix/pro.../download.html (RPM format).

Of course these binaries always lag a little bit behind the latest source.
