Limiting FTP access

[wizzer]

Hello, i have a SCO Unix system running Openserver 5.0.6 with FTP access. I want to stop ALL users from accessing the system by FTP, except for one account. What is the easiest way to accomplish this? I've had a look through the man pages and it seems that you can only set the FTP program to deny access by entering each of the individual names that you don't want, is this actually the case?

Thanks for any advice!
James.

Thats the only way.
However these a quick & dirty way to do this.
cd to /usr, run ls > /etc/ftpusers, the edit ftpusers and remove the user that you want to have access.

Try something like this:

awk -F: '$1!="Account"{print $1}' /etc/passwd >/etc/ftpusers
