    Hi,

    I have disabled the root login directly, But I want that root should transfer the files using ftp client for some time,

    Please let me know which files needs to be edited.
    Regards,

    Manoj

    root

    Save the file and that will stop root user ftp transfers.

    regards

    Well, what manu12 wanted was to allow root access to ftp and adding it to /etc/ftpusers disables ftp access.

    to allow root to use ftp (I would discourage it) disable remote login to root, allow local login and remove root from /etc/ftpusers....

    chuser rlogin=false login=true root
    I would recommend you look for a solution based on SSH/SCP/SFTP using a different user.

    best regards,
