Can anyone tell me (or point me to a how-to resource) how to restrict

Hi Andy,
I had loads of "fun" trying to get this to work so that I had a
standard user with a dedicated password to log in to a simulated root
directory and not let them go up any levels. The default ftp services
that come with AIX can do this only for anonymous users, as best as I
can tell, and with anonymous the password contains the email address of
the user logging on. Depending on if you verify that email or not, it
could just let a person connect and upload or download at will.
As another poster replied to you, the wu/ftpd seems to be the one that
is easiest to set up, and is the one I finally chose for the special
login I needed for a supplier to reach our system.
If I get a chance to capture and "de-sensitize" our /etc files, I'll
post what we ended up with as a solution.
Steve
