FTPD configuration
« on: April 17, 2016, 09:26:31 am »
I've been looking through the docs regarding TCP/IP configuration and haven't managed to spot anything regarding FTPD.

I have had it set up in the past and know there is some config file, possibly FTPUSERS, but can't remember exactly what, and what format its contents look like..

I know I need to tell FTPD who can have access and what they can access...

Can anyone point me to a guide?

Replying to my own post in case anyone is in a similar position...

I just happened to stumble across an IBM Manual from 1992 which was on my bookshelf

IBM Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol Version 1.2.1 for OS/2:

Installation and Maintenance

SC31-6075-03

Wonder if it's available on line.....

As for FTPD it mentions %ETC%\TRUSERS

-------------------------------------
user: root password
rd: d:\dir1 c:\dir2
wr: c:\tmp
-------------------------------------

So there you have it.

Use the TCP/IP configuration notebook, "Security" page, to configure users and set permissions.

  • Create a user using 'Add'
  • Enable FTP access for that using the 'Configure' button under 'FTPD'. Choose what directories they have access to and what permissions, etc.
Also make sure FTPD is started ("Autostart" page), unless you prefer to start it manually yourself of course.

It'll tell you to reboot after saving the changes, although if it didn't change CONFIG.SYS then you only really need to restart the FTPD process.
