Enabling/Disabling the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess Configuration File
• To enable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -a option for
the ftp entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example,
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -a -l -d
(The -l option logs all commands sent to the ftpd server into
syslog. The -d option logs debugging information into syslog.)
• To disable the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, specify the -A option for the ftp
entry in the /etc/inetd.conf file. For example,
ftp stream tcp nowait root /usr/lbin/ftpd ftpd -A -L -d
There are several FTP configuration files that enable you to define how
ftp works, as described in the following table.
