Hi,shen peng,

Give the user the right 777 for that folder after installing the FTP server.I'm not aware of the details for establishing the FTP server on unix type os,but I think there are some software to make it.

ps:

I have read your msn blog on PI,and learned a lot from that,3ks.

(AIX) how to create a ftp user to access folder like /data/edi/out, read and write.

Not exactly a SAP related question but...

If you want to use AIX's built-in ftp server then create a user as you would normally do but set the home directory to '/data/edi/out' - make sure the permissions are setup correctly for the home directory.

Next, restrict who can access the ftp server by editing /etc/ftpaccess.ctl - create it if it doesn't exist. Add 'localhost' or '127.0.0.1' to this file to test from local system and then add the server hostname you want to give access too.

ftpaccess.ctl has the following format:

allow: localhost, hostname.com

..then you can start the FTP subserver: 'startsrc -t ftp'
