Re: How to add FTP only user

[Max Gribov]

the way i did this on my machine:
first i added a special ftp-only group. groupadd ftpusers
then i added a user, but users shell was set to /bin/false so the user is
unable to log in:
useradd ftpuser1 -s /bin/false -g ftpusers 

thats is. the user will not be able to log in through telnet/ssh but will be
able to ftp.
there might be better ways of doing it., but this works well. if others do this
differently, i would love to learn about it.
