Hi,

We have AIX 4.3.3 running with the standard ftp deamon. We want to give
particular users access to only specific directories and not to be able to
access other directories. I cannot use annonymous user because than anyone
can access the site.

Please let me know.

Regards,

Louis Banens

You can use the same type of setup that anonmyous uses, just set it
up for individual users. I have been told that another way is to use
wu-ftpd, which has some capability like this. Never tried it myself,
so you might look at it and see if it helps.

Speaking only for myself,

Unfortunately, you cannot set up per-user "chrooted" FTP for any other
user than 'ftp'/'anonymous' using the standard FTP daemon - the stuff
for 'anonymous' is hard-coded and is not configurable.

You need to use another FTP daemon, wu-ftpd can do this along with my
personal favourite ProFTPD (http://www.proftpd.org/).
