Operating Systems Solaris Ftp access denied Post 302267172 by Tornado on Thursday 11th of December 2008 06:55:59 PM

You should use a valid unix account to connect..
To setup an anonymous ftp server requires a bit more work then just starting the ftp service.

FYI
Code:
     in.ftpd  authenticates  users  according  to  the  following
     rules:

     First, the user name must be in the password data base,  the
     location  of  which  is  specified  in  nsswitch.conf(4). An
     encrypted password (an authentication token in PAM) must  be
     present.  A  password  must always be provided by the client
     before any  file  operations  can  be  performed.  For  non-
     anonymous  users,  the  PAM framework is used to verify that
     the correct password was entered. See SECURITY below.

     Second,  the  user  name  must  not  appear  in  either  the
     /etc/ftpusers  or  the  /etc/ftpd/ftpusers  file. Use of the
     /etc/ftpusers files is deprecated, although it is still sup-
     ported.

     Third, the users must have  a  standard  shell  returned  by
     getusershell(3C).

     Fourth, if the user name is anonymous or ftp,  an  anonymous
     ftp  account  must  be present in the password file for user
     ftp. Use ftpconfig(1M) to create the anonymous  ftp  account
     and home directory tree.

     Fifth, if the GSS-API is used to authenticate the user, then
     gss_auth_rules(5)  determines user access without a password
     needed.

     The FTP Server supports virtual hosting, which can  be  con-
     figured by using ftpaddhost(1M).

     The FTP Server does not support sublogins.

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.
