- We want to setup an account so that a user can only FTP in a file. How
- would I go about doing this?
-
- I was thinking I should set the user's shell to ftp with a
- "ftp macro" (I read the man page on FTP) that would receive one file
- in binary, then quit. (which would then logout the user)
-
- Is this do-able? (the man page on ftp wasn't too informative about macros)
- Or is there a better way?
-
- Thanks
- Shane
