ftp access only
- Thread starter madra
- Start date
You can make a "ftp-only" account by creating a user id with the "login" and "rlogin" flags set to false:
mkuser login=false rlogin=false ftpuser
This allows the user to ftp files to the system, but restricts their ability to log on.
As an alternative, you can use "anonymous" ftp if you do not need to password protection. An "anonymous" id allows anyone to access files in a public directory. To create an anonymous ftp account, you can use the AIX "/usr/samples/tcpip/anon.ftp" script.
