Configuring File Transfer Protocol (FTP) servers

Denying access to users

To deny access to a user:

  1. In the FTP Server Manager, select View -> Denied users.

  2. To define a user to be denied access, select Edit -> Add.

  3. Choose the name of the user from the pull-down list.

  4. Click on OK to accept.


WARNING: To maintain system security, we recommend that you always deny access to root. We also recommend that you deny access to accounts which do not use one of the standard shells listed in /etc/shells. If you choose to enable access by root, uncomment the /sbin/sh line in /etc/shells.

You do not need to deny access to accounts which do not have passwords. The FTP server will not service these users.
