the way i did this on my machine: first i added a special ftp-only group. groupadd ftpusers then i added a user, but users shell was set to /bin/false so the user is unable to log in: useradd ftpuser1 -s /bin/false -g ftpusers thats is. the user will not be able to log in through telnet/ssh but will be able to ftp. there might be better ways of doing it., but this works well. if others do this differently, i would love to learn about it. max On Fri, 28 Jul 2000, Senthilkumar.M. wrote: > > Hi everybody, > How to a user who has only FTP access to the server. > We have a Red Hat Linux 6.1 . > Thanks®ards > senthil > ---------------------------------------- Content-Type: text/x-vcard; name="senthil.vcf" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Description: Card for Senthilkumar.M. ---------------------------------------- - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu
