FTP ACCESS DENIED...

[bgdak]

When I try to ftp from one workstation to another I receive the message "access denied". What to I have to change to be able to ftp to the workstations?

Thanks

have you checked the /etc/ftpd/ftpusers file ? any user listed there will NOT be granted FTP access, even though they may have a local account on the box.

Something else that may prevent you from getting an ftp session:

Is the shell specified for the user in /etc/passwd also listed in the /etc/shells file? If it isn't, you won't be able to get in.

Also, if for some reason the home directory specified in /etc/passwd isn't there, you also won't be let in by ftp.

In both cases, you can telnet or rlogin, but you can't ftp.
