    Hello All,

    I need one help to achieve the following on AIX.

    I need to restrict the FTP access to perticular users or want to grant FTP access to group of users. How can I proceed with this or how can I create FTP.allow file or FTP.deny file? so that only selected user from FTP.allow file can have FTP access or vice verca.

    Thanks in advance.

    You can use the command 'ruser' to control access to ftp. Entries that cannot use ftp go into a file /etc/ftpusers.
    To disable root from using ftp, you would run:
    ruser -a -f root
