Starting FTP
Providing Access to the MPE/iX FTP User Only
Providing Access to the MPE/iX FTP User
Only
To prevent remote users from accessing the MPE/iX FTP server:
• don’t run INETD (if only FTPSRVR is running under INETD)
• otherwise, comment out the line
ftp stream tcp nowait MANAGER.SYS /SYS/ARPA/FTPSRVR ftpsrvr
by placing the # symbol in the first column in the file
INETDCNF.NET.SYS and restart INETD as
:INETD.NET; info=“-c”
To restrict only a particular host/network from accessing the MPE/iX
FTP server, add a line in INETDSEC file, in the form of:
<service name> <allow/deny> <host/network addresses, host/network names>
For example, to disallow the host 192.23.4.3 from accessing the FTP
server, add the following line:
ftp deny 192.23.4.3
For more information regarding INETDSEC.NET.SYS, refer to the
Configuring and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services manual, section
