hi, i have the below 2 files

/etc/ftpusers
/etc/ftpd/ftpusers

Okay, what i want to acheive is not to allow ftp from certain users.
Currently, my 2 files above are empty with owners and permissions as
belows

-rw-rw-r-- 1 bin bin


and they are empty. Therefore, pple are allowed to ftp?

So, when i enter some of the users in /etc/ftpusers to allow ftp,
these users are not able to ftp as well.

Please advise.

From memory ftpusers list the users who are NOT permitted to ftp.

man ftp, man ftpusers.
