Okay, usefull, but what about ftp-only accounts?
Authored by: tsaar on May 02, '02 02:03:43PM

Okay, so I can temporarily disable login ability whenever I want. That may be usefull in some situations.

Unfortunately, this also makes this particular user unable to ftp in.
(at least when I do it.....)

I've read some tips here on how to enable anonymous ftp, but that is not what I want.

I would like to make an 'ftp only' account: password is checked, but user cannot login to aqua (nor via ssh, figured that one out allready using /dev/null for shell, works like a dream)

Any tips on how to do this with a minimum amount of those confusing chmod commands? (btw- is there a graphical utility that lets me do that? I'm comfortable with the command prompt but chmod drives me crazy)

Thanks,

Maarten
