Data FTP configuration in Solaris 5.7

Hi everybody !
How can I configure the ftp in solaris systems ? Wich files ?
To resume : I want to create a user wich can get from a ftp session running from a PC, some files without going up in the directories. If I attached the ksh or sh shell to the user, he can go wherever he wants. If I attached the rksh shell, OK for a telnet session but problem : no ftp session is allowed. The same for the shell /bin/false.
If someone has got an idea, I take it !!!
Thanks a lot.

You need to put /usr/bin/false in the file called /etc/shells. Then you can give a user /usr/bin/false for a shell and they can use ftp.

But be careful of the restricted shells. They're easy to break out of.

Thanks a lot !
But one other problem is that the ftp doesn't take the shell account. So if I place /bin/false as shell, the user won't be able to open a telnet session, that's great... But how can I configure the FTP for this user not to go in a other directory upper his home directory?

For Solaris u can use proftpd . U can get the binaries at
proftpd.net .....
setting the config for DefaultRoot does the trick
