RE: Limiting FTP users' access?
Authored by: saint.duo on Apr 21, '01 06:44:56PM
i attempted to do this, using the rules in the the FTPD manual, along with creating a user manually following the instructions to create an anynomous user (though I named the user "heero"). I ran into a few snags, though. there is no "ftp" group on my machine, and I don't know what extras to give it to make it work correctly, and after setting up the proper directories, i gave them to user "heero" and group "staff" (putting heero in the staff group, as well). I also gave "heero" a password using
 sudo passwd heero 
. When I tried to FTP in, and gave the server the name heero, it told me that login with that user was denied? Any ideas, either to the denied message or why I have no ftp group?
