- # The FTPUSERS file provides access control over the users of
- # your host computer. It consists of 4 elements:
- # username password \path permissions
- #
- # where
- # username is the users's login name for ftp
- # password is the password they are required to
- # use. A password of '*' allows anything
- # typed to be accepted.
- # \path is the allowable prefix on accessible files.
- # Think of this as the root of the directory
- # subtree this user is allowed to access.
- # permissions is a decimal number granting permission
- # for read, create, and write operations.
- # Bit 0x1 is read, bit 0x2 is create if not
- # overwriting, bit 0x4 allows overwriting an
- # existing file, and deleting files.
- # For example: a user with read AND create
- # would have a permission of 3 (1+2). A user
- # with full read/write/overwrite would have a
- # permission of 7 (1+2+4). Until such time as
- # an encryption system for passwords is
- # incorporated into TCP/IP caution should be
- # used in authorizing full access to your
- # system.

- #----------------------------------------------
- #
- # This first entry is used to define a user "anonymous", who has read-only
- # access to a directory which you have set up and arbitrarily named 'public',
- # and all subdirectories of 'public'. In effect this is his root directory
- # on your system. This is the default entry everyone should have, so that
- # new users who don't have a specific entry in this file can still get in
- # and look at what's available, download a few things, etc. When logging in
- # to a machine using this entry, use your callsign or something else unique
- # as the password, to identify yourself. Any password will work since there
- # is a "*" in the password field.
- #
- anonymous * \public 1
- #
- # The following entry for john with a password of wd0fhg has full
- # access to your root directory and full read/write/overwrite/delete
- # functions. You'll want to think twice before giving this access to
- # others :-) .
- #
- john wd0fhg \ 7
- #
- # The following entry for andy with a password of n0ccz has read and
- # write access to \public and all its subdirectores.
- # This is a good entry for someone you trust to upload files to your system,
- # but who you don't want deleting things that are already there.
- #
- andy n0ccz \public 3

- # THE END
