Regarding the FAQ below – ftpconfig can be used from the global zone to setup the device special files. Ie.
Localzone% [b]ftpconfig /datadir [/b] (sets up anon ftp user, but fails on device special files) Global% [b]ftpconfig /zone/testzone/datadir[/b] (completes the job by creating the special files - also creates user in globalzone) Global% [b]userdel ftp[/b] (deletes unrequired ftp user from global zone) This way, you [i]can [/i]use ftpconfig to setup the zone to be an anonymous ftp server. (Obviously, relies on /datadir being an lofs filesystem from the global zone). ----- Original FAQ below Q: Can a zone be an ftp server? A: A zone can be an ftp server, but it is not possible to use ftpconfig(1M) to set up a zone to be an anonymous ftp server. This is because ftpconfig attempts to set up certain device special files, and a zone does not have the necessary privileges.
