Configuring Authentication And Authorization On The Ftp Server - 3Com S7906E Configuration Manual

Configuring Authentication and Authorization on the FTP Server

To allow an FTP user to access certain directories on the FTP server, you need to create an account for
the user, authorizing access to the directories and associating the username and password with the
account.
The following configuration is used when the FTP server authenticates and authorizes a local FTP user.
If the FTP server needs to authenticate a remote FTP user, you need to configure authentication,
authorization and accounting (AAA) policy instead of the local user. For detailed configuration, refer to
AAA Configuration in the Security Volume.
Follow these steps to configure authentication and authorization for FTP server:
To do...
Enter system view
Create a local user
and enter its view
Assign a password to
the user
Assign the FTP
service to the user
Configure user
properties
For more
authorization-attribute commands, refer to AAA Commands in the Security Volume.
When the device serves as the FTP server, if the client is to perform the write operations (upload,
delete, create, and delete for example) on the device's file system, the FTP login users must be
level 3 users; if the client is to perform other operations, for example, read operation, the device
has no restriction on the user level of the FTP login users, that is, any level from 0 to 3 is allowed.
Use the command...
system-view
local-user user-name
password { simple | cipher }

service-type ftp
authorization-attribute { acl
acl-number | callback-number
callback-number | idle-cut
