Full Discussion: Cannot ftp from EXTERNAL sender
Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Cannot ftp from EXTERNAL sender Post 303042723 by jim mcnamara on Saturday 4th of January 2020 10:05:56 AM

The ftpaccess file is probably blocking the user, as a guess, something is not configured correctly in there.

Reference: Controlling FTP Server Access - System Administration Guide: Network Services

First thing to check:
Usually there is a line in the file to allow access based on network ipv4 address, example: 10.192.*
Work through all of the settings carefully one by one because there are other kinds of settings to check. ftp is a security risk, so this file exists to control access.

FWIW: We disabled ftp in favor of sftp, with Putty (free) on all of the windows desktops that needed sftp access to files.

NAME

       sftp-server - SFTP server subsystem

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

DESCRIPTION

       sftp-server implements the server side of the SSH File Transfer Protocol as defined in the IETF draft-ietf-secsh-filexfer.

       sftp-server is a subsystem for sshd(1M) and must not be run directly. There are no options or config settings.

       To enable the sftp-server subsystem for sshd add the following to /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

       Subsystem   sftp     /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

       See sshd_config(4) for a description of the format and contents of that file.

       There is no relationship between the protocol used by sftp-server and the FTP protocol (RFC 959) provided by in.ftpd.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0        Successful completion.

       >0       An error occurred.
