Very Computer

I want to let my users at the local network to be able to connect to our
server. They haven't got any useraccounts and I don't want them to
either. That is: No ability to login via telnet or ssh, but the ability
to get read access to ~ftp and read/write to ~ftp/shared. No anonymous
logins allowed.

Before you buy.

Here's sthing to get you started. Create a user named "amy" using the
useradd command, backup /etc/proftpd.conf, and copy/paste the
following. Don't let the word "Anonymous" bother you: It doesn't mean
this account is accessible to anyone (notice the "AnonRequirePassword
on"). Maybe Proftp started as an anon FTP type of software, and they
included guest/real access later on.

Proftp really does offer much more than wu-ftp, and doesn't require
too much fiddling to secure, unlike its counterpart.
