DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
FFttppdd is the Internet File Transfer Protocol server process. The server
uses the TCP protocol and listens at the port specified in the ``ftp''
service specification; see services(5).
Available options:
--aa Select the level of authentication required. Kerberised login
can not be turned off. The default is to only allow kerberised
login. Other possibilities can be turned on by giving a string
of comma separated flags as argument to --aa. Recognised flags are:
_p_l_a_i_n Allow logging in with plaintext password. The password can
be a(n) OTP or an ordinary password.
_o_t_p Same as _p_l_a_i_n, but only OTP is allowed.
_f_t_p Allow anonymous login.
The following combination modes exists for backwards compatibili-
ty:
_n_o_n_e Same as _p_l_a_i_n_,_f_t_p.
_s_a_f_e Same as _f_t_p.
_u_s_e_r Ignored.
--dd Debugging information is written to the syslog using LOG_FTP.
--gg Anonymous users will get a umask of _u_m_a_s_k.
--ii Open a socket and wait for a connection. This is mainly used for
debugging when ftpd isn't started by inetd.
--ll Each successful and failed ftp(1) session is logged using syslog
with a facility of LOG_FTP. If this option is specified twice,
the retrieve (get), store (put), append, delete, make directory,
remove directory and rename operations and their filename argu-
ments are also logged.
--pp Use _p_o_r_t (a service name or number) instead of the default
_f_t_p_/_t_c_p.
--TT A client may also request a different timeout period; the maximum
period allowed may be set to _t_i_m_e_o_u_t seconds with the --TT option.
The default limit is 2 hours.
--tt The inactivity timeout period is set to _t_i_m_e_o_u_t seconds (the de-
fault is 15 minutes).
--uu Set the initial umask to something else than the default 027.
--vv Verbose mode.
--BB, ----bbuuiillttiinn--llss
use built-in ls to list files
----ggoooodd--cchhaarrss==_s_t_r_i_n_g
allowed anonymous upload filename chars
The file _/_e_t_c_/_n_o_l_o_g_i_n can be used to disable ftp access. If the file ex-
ists, ffttppdd displays it and exits. If the file _/_e_t_c_/_f_t_p_w_e_l_c_o_m_e exists,
ffttppdd prints it before issuing the ``ready'' message. If the file
_/_e_t_c_/_m_o_t_d exists, ffttppdd prints it after a successful login.
The ftp server currently supports the following ftp requests. The case
of the requests is ignored.

SIZE return size of file
STAT return status of server
STOR store a file
STOU store a file with a unique name
STRU specify data transfer _s_t_r_u_c_t_u_r_e

USER specify user name
XCUP change to parent of current working directory
(deprecated)
XCWD change working directory (deprecated)

The following commands are specified by RFC2228.
AUTH authentication/security mechanism
ADAT authentication/security data
PROT data channel protection level
PBSZ protection buffer size
MIC integrity protected command
CONF confidentiality protected command
ENC privacy protected command
CCC clear command channel
The following non-standard or UNIX specific commands are supported by the
SITE request.
UMASK change umask, (e.g. SSIITTEE UUMMAASSKK 000022)
IDLE set idle-timer, (e.g. SSIITTEE IIDDLLEE 6600)
CHMOD change mode of a file (e.g. SSIITTEE CCHHMMOODD 775555 ffiilleennaammee)
FIND quickly find a specific file with GNU locate(1).
HELP give help information.
The following Kerberos related site commands are understood.
KAUTH obtain remote tickets.
KLIST show remote tickets
The remaining ftp requests specified in Internet RFC 959 are recognized,
but not implemented. MDTM and SIZE are not specified in RFC 959, but
will appear in the next updated FTP RFC.
The ftp server will abort an active file transfer only when the ABOR com-
mand is preceded by a Telnet "Interrupt Process" (IP) signal and a Telnet
"Synch" signal in the command Telnet stream, as described in Internet RFC
959. If a STAT command is received during a data transfer, preceded by a
Telnet IP and Synch, transfer status will be returned.
FFttppdd interprets file names according to the ``globbing'' conventions used
by csh(1). This allows users to utilize the metacharacters ``*?[]{}~''.
FFttppdd authenticates users according to these rules.
1. If Kerberos authentication is used, the user must pass valid
tickets and the principal must be allowed to login as the re-
mote user.
2. The login name must be in the password data base, and not have
a null password (if kerberos is used the password field is not
checked). In this case a password must be provided by the
client before any file operations may be performed. If the
user has an OTP key, the response from a successful USER com-
mand will include an OTP challenge. The client may choose to
respond with a PASS command giving either a standard password
or an OTP one-time password. The server will automatically de-
termine which type of password it has been given and attempt
to authenticate accordingly. See otp(1) for more information
on OTP authentication.
3. The login name must not appear in the file _/_e_t_c_/_f_t_p_u_s_e_r_s.
4. The user must have a standard shell returned by
getusershell(3).
5. If the user name appears in the file _/_e_t_c_/_f_t_p_c_h_r_o_o_t the ses-
sion's root will be changed to the user's login directory by
chroot(2) as for an ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'' account (see next
item). However, the user must still supply a password. This
feature is intended as a compromise between a fully anonymous
account and a fully privileged account. The account should
also be set up as for an anonymous account.
6. If the user name is ``anonymous'' or ``ftp'', an anonymous ftp
account must be present in the password file (user ``ftp'').
In this case the user is allowed to log in by specifying any
password (by convention an email address for the user should
be used as the password).
In the last case, ffttppdd takes special measures to restrict the client's
access privileges. The server performs a chroot(2) to the home directory
of the ``ftp'' user. In order that system security is not breached, it
is recommended that the ``ftp'' subtree be constructed with care, consid-
er following these guidelines for anonymous ftp.
In general all files should be owned by ``root'', and have non-write per-
missions (644 or 755 depending on the kind of file). No files should be
owned or writable by ``ftp'' (possibly with exception for the
_~_f_t_p_/_i_n_c_o_m_i_n_g, as specified below).
_~_f_t_p The ``ftp'' homedirectory should be owned by root.
_~_f_t_p_/_b_i_n The directory for external programs (such as ls(1)).
These programs must either be statically linked, or you
must setup an environment for dynamic linking when run-
ning chrooted. These programs will be used if present:
ls Used when listing files.
compress
When retrieving a filename that ends in _._Z,
and that file isn't present, ffttppdd will try
to find the filename without _._Z and com-
press it on the fly.
gzip Same as compress, just with files ending in
_._g_z.
gtar Enables retrieval of whole directories as
files ending in _._t_a_r. Can also be combined
with compression. You must use GNU Tar (or
some other that supports the --zz and --ZZ
flags).
locate Will enable ``fast find'' with the SSIITTEE
FFIINNDD command. You must also create a
_l_o_c_a_t_e_d_b file in _~_f_t_p_/_e_t_c.
_~_f_t_p_/_e_t_c If you put copies of the passwd(5) and group(5) files
here, ls will be able to produce owner names rather than
numbers. Remember to remove any passwords from these
files.
The file _m_o_t_d, if present, will be printed after a suc-
cessful login.
_~_f_t_p_/_d_e_v Put a copy of /dev/null(7) here.
_~_f_t_p_/_p_u_b Traditional place to put whatever you want to make pub-
lic.
If you want guests to be able to upload files, create a _~_f_t_p_/_i_n_c_o_m_i_n_g di-
rectory owned by ``root'', and group ``ftp'' with mode 730 (make sure
``ftp'' is member of group ``ftp''). The following restrictions apply to
anonymous users:
++oo Directories created will have mode 700.
++oo Uploaded files will be created with an umask of 777, if not changed
with the --gg option.
++oo These command are not accessible: DDEELLEE, RRMMDD, RRNNTTOO, RRNNFFRR, SSIITTEE UUMMAASSKK,
and SSIITTEE CCHHMMOODD.
++oo Filenames must start with an alpha-numeric character, and consist of
alpha-numeric characters or any of the following: + (plus), - (mi-
nus), = (equal), _ (underscore), . (period), and , (comma).
FFIILLEESS
/etc/ftpusers Access list for users.
/etc/ftpchroot List of normal users who should be chroot'd.
/etc/ftpwelcome Welcome notice.
/etc/motd Welcome notice after login.
/etc/nologin Displayed and access refused.
~/.klogin Login access for Kerberos.

BBUUGGSS
The server must run as the super-user to create sockets with privileged
port numbers. It maintains an effective user id of the logged in user,
reverting to the super-user only when binding addresses to sockets. The
possible security holes have been extensively scrutinized, but are possi-
bly incomplete.

The ffttppdd command appeared in 4.2BSD.
