Restricted file transfer program users

Users listed in the /etc/ftpusers file are protected from remote FTP access. For example, suppose that user A is logged into a remote system, and he knows the password of user B on your system. If user B is listed in the /etc/ftpusers file, user A cannot FTP files to or from user B's account, even though user A knows user B's password.

The following table provides information about how to list, add, and remove restricted users using SMIT or the command line.
