Solaris 10 FTP
Hello all...
I have installed Solaris 10 and was found that it comes with an FTP server already on and configured. When you login with a user, you get full access to that user's home directory.
I was wondering how I can configure the server to have all the users login to one directory and then read and write as needed. Any other information regarding the server would also help me.

I guess this can be achieved by using the "guestuser *" configuration line in ftpaccess, and creating a guest user account.
See man ftpd and ftpaccess for details.

Thanks, Jilliagre.
I figured since users automatically login to their home directory via FTP that creating a user for this specific task would be ideal. And it worked...I created the user and set the home directory to the folder I need the files in.
