Missing FTP configuration files/commands
I was asked if I can create an FTP only user on a UNIX system I've inherited at work. (Solaris).
I've worked on UNIX systems for a long time, but never really as an admin.
I searched the web, and on this forum, for information on exactly how to do this.
(The new user will also need to be restricted to one directory.)
I found what I was looking for, understood (I think
) what was required, then immediately hit a hurdle.
I can't find several files and commands that were referenced in the info I found.
/etc/shells
/etc/ftpd/
ftpaccess
ftpconfig
These all were integral in what I needed to do.
Are they standard for UNIX installs, or do I need to get them?
This is the version of UNIX I am using:
SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-13 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraAX-i2
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
