The ftpd Configuration Files

The /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file is the ftpd configuration file. It defines how the ftpd daemon operates. You can configure the following FTP features by using the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:

Number of permitted FTP login attempts
FTP banner display
Incoming and outgoing file transfer logging
Access permissions
Regular expressions usage

For more information on the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file, type man 4 ftpaccess at the HP-UX prompt.




	NOTE: You can obtain the default `ftp` configuration files from the `/usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/examples` directory.

Enabling or Disabling the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess File

The following specifies how to enable or disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:

To enable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -a option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -a -l -d
To disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -A option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example:
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -A -l -d
Otherwise, you can disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file by not specifying any option for the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file.




	NOTE: Every time you change the `/etc/inetd.conf` file, you must recompile the `/etc/inetd.conf` file by using the command `inetd -c`. By default, the `/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess` file is disabled in the `/etc/inetd.conf file`.
