I have a VPN established using CIPE between 3 Linux servers (RHL7.1-srvB; RHL7
.2srvA; RHL7.3-srvC). All services running fine. However, I need to install FTP
to run between SrvA to SrvB and SrvC. They only need to be able to upload
their updated web pages to the web server. What I would like to do is give the
user a certain userid (web & jlmiller) access so when they login using the
correct UserID they are automatically placed in the right location (/var/www
/html). However, I cannot get FTP to work. I've installed WU-FTP, ANONFTP,
modules for ftp (2).
I've configured the fpthost as such:
/etc/fpthost
allow web 192.168.0.1/24
allow jlmiller 192.168.1.0/24
allow jlmiller 192.168.5.0/24
/etc/hosts.allow
ALL: 192.168.0.0/24 : ALLOW
ftpd: 192.168.0.0/24 : ALLOW
ALL: 192.168.1.0/24 : ALLOW
ftpd: 192.168.1.0/24 : ALLOW
ALL: 192.168.5.0/24 : ALLOW
ftpd: 192.168.5.0/24 : ALLOW
Is there something I've missed? and where or which file controls where the user
has access to?
Hopefully this is enough information.
I should mention I only want the access to be strictly internal.
I have a firewall on SrvA that accepts ftp packets using iptables and SrvB is
using ipchains.
If I want to give access to anyone else based on their IP address is the
ftphost file the correct file to put their IP address in and should I be more
restrictive using an ipaddress vs a subnet. Considering their is only one
person on the network that uses ftp?
Thanks
