Administering the FTP local user accounts
The FTP> local user commands let you create and manage local user accounts on the FTP server.
When you add a local user account, the user's home directory is created automatically on the FTP server. User home directories on the FTP server are specified by path/username where path is the home directory path configured by the FTP > set homedir_path command.
All users are limited to their home directories and are not allowed to access files on the FTP server beyond their home directories.
To add a local user account
- To add a local user account, enter the following:
FTP> local user add username
where username is the name of the user whose account you want to add.
- When the password prompt appears, enter a password for the local user.
- Type the password again for verification.
To change a password for a local user
- To change a password for a local user, enter the following:
FTP> local user passwd username
where username is the name of the user whose password you want to change.
- When the password prompt appears, enter a new password, then type the password again for verification.
To delete a local user account
- To delete a local user account, enter the following:
FTP> local user delete username
where username is the name of the user whose account you want to delete.
When you delete a local user account, the local user's home directory is not deleted.
To show local user accounts
- To show local user accounts (and account settings) configured on the FTP server, enter the following:
FTP> local user show
