chroot FTP

[imad77]

Hi,

I want to setup chroot FTP in AIX 5.3 server. The created user should access to FTP server and can not browse the directories via the FTP client tool.

Have you any suggestion to perform that in AIX? I know jhow to perform it in redHat and it's very easy to do it in redHat but I need help to do it in AIX.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I created this file /etc/ftpaccess.ctl and I added this lines:

puseronly:test
readwrite:/home/test

When I try to connect with account test from Putty, I,m able to list the content of the chrooted directory.

But when i try to connect it via a GUI FTP client, I cannot list the directory but I'm able to write on it by upload some files from my XP station to this FTP.

Is it a problem related to permissions?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

I want to setup chroot FTP in AIX 5.3 server. The created user "test"
should access to this FTP server and should browse his home directory
and not the other directories via the FTP client tool.


I created this file /etc/ftpaccess.ctl and I added this lines:


puseronly:test
readwrite:/home/test


When I try to connect with this account "test" from the AIX server,
I'm able to list the content of the chrooted directory.


But when I try to connect to this FTP server via a GUI FTP client from
my XP station, I cannot list the directory content, but I'm able to
put some files to this directory by uploading some files from my XP
station to this chrooted FTP.


How can I be able to list the chrooted file from a GUI FTP client
tool?


Thanks a lot.

I was able to resolve my FTP issues, and I installed Proftpd where I could perfom a chroot jail FTP.

imad77,

Sorry you didn't get a response from the community but a quick search in the forum of FTP or chroot would have turned up the info you were looking for.
