Hi All

I am having problems uploading to my ftp server,
(Solaris 10), I can get files from my server, but can't upload.

Q. Has there been any changes from solaris 9 to solaris 10 that may cause this problem.

I have read that there may be a switch in the inetd.conf that may need changing,(setting -a or -A) or is this all related to ftpd from solaris 9, because wu-ftpd is used in solaris 10.

Q. Am I heading in the right direction?


Many thanks in advance for your help

What error message do you get ?

Hi jlliagre,

The error code which gets reported is 553 you do not have permission to upload on to this server! Or something alone those lines.

Are you logged in on the FTP server or are you using anonymous FTP ?

What ftp client are you using ?

Hi jlliagre,

This is the is what I can do and what I can't do logged on as anonymous:

I have also read that error code 553 refers to wrong type of naming convention, is this the problem?

Many Thanks in advance

Hi All

Thanks to those for their in-put

I have found the answer to my question, I hope the following is helpful to others;

<Note Snip>
I have found the information which has enabled me to upload files, the info has been extracted from:

http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/man...ftpaccess.html


In a nutshell items changed in ftpaccess file:

To permit uploads

If it does permit uploads, all newly created files will be owned by <owner> and <group> and will have their permissions set according to <mode>, existing files which are overwritten will keep their original owner- ship and permissions.

Directories are matched on a best-match basis.

For example:
upload /var/ftp * no
upload /var/ftp /incoming yes ftp daemon 0666
upload /var/ftp /incoming/gifs yes jlc guest 0600 nodirs

would only allow uploads into /incoming and /incoming/gifs. Files that were uploaded to /incoming, would be owned by ftp/daemon and would have permissions of 0666.
File uploaded to /incoming/gifs would be owned by jlc/guest and have permissions of 0600. Note that the <root-dir> here must match the home directory specified in the password database for the "ftp" user.

How to resolve this error, 550 HAVE_REGEX error.

regexp>
path-
filter <typelist> <mesg> <allowed_charset> {<disallowed

For users in <typelist>, path-filter defines regular expressions that control what a filename can or can not be. There may be multiple disallowed regexps. If a filename is invalid due to failure to match the regexp criteria, <mesg> will be displayed to the user.

For example:

path-filter anonymous /etc/pathmsg ^[-A-Za-z0-9._]*$ ^\. ^- specifies that all upload filenames for anonymous users must be made of only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and "._-" and may not begin with a "." or a "-". If the filename is invalid, /etc/pathmsg will be displayed to the user,(550 HAVE_REGEX error).
<Snip End>
