Configuring File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers

Configuring guest groups

If a real user accessing the FTP server is a member of a guest group defined in /etc/group, they will be permitted access to a different FTP home directory from that available to anonymous FTP users. All users in the same guest group share an FTP home directory for access to the FTP server.

To define a guest group using the FTP Server Manager:

Select View Guest groups.
Select Edit Add.
Choose the name of the group from the pull-down list.
Click on OK to accept.

You must now set up the home directories for each guest group as described in ``Configuring FTP home directories''.

See Administering users and groups for information on how to set up user accounts and groups.
