FTP account forwarding

Post by Marc » Tue, 01 Jun 2010 17:52:31



Hi all,

I would like to move part of the FTP users I have on a server to
another server. I'd like to do it transparently, ie: if user who
requests authentication on oldserver belong to moved_users => forward
the request to newserver. Does anyone know if something like that is
possible?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Marco.

I don't, unless there is a special name like ftp.example.com.
You can put a message on the FRP login page.

Thanks Maxwell, I thought of the message too, I'll do it like that if
nothing else is available.
 
 
 

1. FTP account without passwd (not an anonymous account)

Is it possible to create a user account where one can ftp without passwd.
I know that anonymous account will do it, but I want to use different user
name. I tried to create a user account with out passwd, but if I ftp to that
account it still expected a passwd. It I hit return or give a bogus passwd
I was not able to login.

Any ideas ???

Thanx
