Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers How to block an anonymous ftp user? Post 302184571 by dennisheazle on Friday 11th of April 2008 09:17:13 PM

Hi there again.
Well I looked into this and found that the IP address of the attacking client is 82.240.116.2398 which is in France, and also got the mail address of the provider. I sent them a mail but no reply yet.

I opened the hosts.deny file and edited it using vi. When I save it using :w! to override the readonly setting, I get a message saying cannot open file for writing. Do I need to edit as super user?

ftp

ftp(4)								   File Formats 							    ftp(4)

NAME

       ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

       Use  the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment  lines and
       are ignored.

   Behavior Directives
       The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

       FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no    The ls command of the ftp client sends an NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several non-Solaris clients send
				     LIST  instead.  In  order	to  make  the  Solaris	ftp  client  send  LIST when the ls command is issued, set
				     FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.

       If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that	is
       specified in /etc/default/ftp.
