Procedure to configure FTP guest user access
1: Create a user which you want to use for the ftp , Name of the user can be anything except "ftp" ( In our Example it is "ali")
Useradd -g 10 -d /export/home/ali -m -s /bin/bash ali
passwd ali
Enter the new password twice .
2: Run the "ftpconfig -d" command , on the home directory of newly created user.
# ftpconfig –d /export/home/ali
this updates the existing directory with the info needed to make the account restricted.
After this you can see some extra directories in /export/home/ali e.g bin, dev,lib e.t.c
3: Add the user to the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. There is an existing commented entry
# guestuser username
that can be uncommented and edited
guestuser ali
4: Confirm that the user is a member of a class in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess this entry should a already exist in ftpaccess
class guestusers guest *
5: Modify permissions for guest user if necessary
delete no anonymous,guest # delete permission?
After this user ali will not be able to delete any file .
6: Run the command
# in.ftpd -a to allow the use of ftpaccess file
now when user "ali" ftps to this server
ftp 10.30.21.33
Connected to 10.30.21.33.
220 solarislab FTP server ready.
Name (10.30.21.33:solarisuser): ali
331 Password required for ali.
Password:
230 User ali logged in. Access restrictions apply.
Remote system type is UNIX.
Using binary mode to transfer files.
ftp> pwd
257 "/" is current directory.
Note that now you will see “/” as your current directory instead of /export/home/ali.

-alias. In addition to any alias files that you specify, consults the system alias file

file. See for more information.

printed on as few lines as possible.
-normalize
-nonormalize
Instructs to try to track down the official hostname of the address. This can be suppressed by using -nonormalize. The default
is -nonormalize.
-user useraddr

the aliases that expand to include each given address. You must specify the complete user name that you have used in your alias
file.
The defaults for this command are:
-alias /usr/lib/mh/MailAliases
-nolist
-nonormalize
