1.1.1 Procedure

1. Use ftpconfig(1m) to create the anonymous FTP directory:

   ftpconfig -d /opt/IspFtpDir

   This creates the following in the specified directory: bin/, dev/, etc/, pub/, usr/, var/, and Welcome. The directory bin/ is a symbolic link to /usr/bin, and Welcome is the welcome message displayed to the FTP user on successful login.

   ---

   Note -

   The ftpconfig(1m) command only needs to be run once regardless of the number of virtual hosts you need to create. Ensure you do not create the ISP anonymous FTP directory in /tmp.

   ---

2. Use ftpaddhost(1m) to create the virtual host directory:

   ftpaddhost /opt/IspFtpDir /export/home/ myVH.org

   This creates the directory /export/home/myVH.org. The contents of the anonymous FTP directory /opt/IspFtpDir are cloned to create the required file hierarchy within /export/home/myVH.org: dev/, etc/, pub/, usr/, var/, and the file Welcome .

   The FTP access configuration file /etc/inet/ftpaccess is copied to the virtual host etc/ directory (/etc/inet/hostname/). Thus, each virtual host you define using ftpaddhost(1m) inherits the configuration defined in /etc/inet/ftpaccess.

3. Create the subscriber (real user) account in /etc/passwd. See passwd(4) and admintool(1M) for further information. Make note of the user ID associated with the user login name.

4. Edit /etc/group and enter a unique group ID for the subscriber (real user) account in the file, then add the user login name to the newly created group. See group(4) for further information.
