How to limit ftp access to single directory with lion

I am setting up an sftp server on a Lion system and I would like to know how I can limit a logged on user to a single directory.  I am using the ftp daemon that comes with Lion. I start my ftp server using the following command:
sudo launchctl load -w /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/ftp.plist
I am using FileZilla for a client that will be run on a mac running Lion or Leopard.
I have seen threads on this but they are from 2009 and don't help with Lion.
thanks for the help

Hi, Did you find any info?
I am also looking for similar solution.
I am not using FileZilla, but just want to know how to setup a particular user on  to access only a certain folder on MAC when logged in via FTP. They can log in by command line or any FTP utility from another PC or MAC or other Unix OS.
Please let me know, if you find something. I will share some info.

  • How do I get Front Row to work with Lion?

    Hello fellow Mac users,
    How do I get Front Row to work with Lion? I have an iMac 27 inch computer and is the sole entertainment provider for my bedroom. I refuse to put a TV in my room and wanted to know how to get Front Row to work again on my mac? It seems that the upgrade to Lion erased the app.
    I have quite a few movies and series that I bought off iTunes and is a shame that I can't use a media center app like Front Row on Lion.

    I kind of have the opposite problem. I need to know how to turn off my remote on the computer. I am using the remote for my Apple TV and it keeps making the volume on my Computer go up and down (with annoying sounds).
    There used to be a way to un-sync the remote with the comp but I cannot remember how and the Apple help is not much help! I have Lion.
    Thanks!
    Best,
    Tony

  • Limit FTP access

    I've been trying to control FTP access, as have many others judging from the posts. When I access FTP, anonymous access is off, I can traverse up the directory to the root of my FTP servers HD and go into any folder I want.
    Also changing the user environment from FTP root & share points, to the others and back doesn't seem to do anything. Everytime I log in using FTP I am in the users home directory and the other shares are not visible.
    I tried installing PureFTP but uninstalled it because I wanted the Apple FTP server to work. I'm wondering if PureFTP did something crazy and broke Apple's FTP.
    TIA,
    John McAdams

    Found out an interesting, maybe useful consequence of installing PureFTP Manager. The installation writes a complicated ftpaccess file that keeps PureFTP as the FTP daemon. Here's what happened. I installed & configured PureFTP Manager and added a few virtual users. Used it for a while and it worked great. I needed to open up the firewall for passive FTP clients. I shut down PureFTP and opened up the ftpaccess file.
    Now usually when I open this file running Tiger's FTP server, the file is blank. This file had a lot of information in it. I added my passive ports line to the end of the file and saved it.
    Back in Sever Admin I added the Passive FTP service to the firewall and decided to start up Apple's FTP to test it out. When I ftp'd in as a user in the local directory I was greeted with the PureFTP banner! Everything worked fine. Just to check I opened PureFTP Manager and sure enough the gui said that it was off. I tested the ftp configuration by logging in as a virtual user that I had set up in PureFTP Manager. No problem.
    So now I can use PureFTP Manager and Sever Admin together. That means I get the controll of PureFTP Manager but the remote administration of Server Admin. Now I need a way to look at the PureFTP logs in Server Admin but I'm happy with it for the time being.

    For the migration tool:
    There is a option for FTP migration, but I don't particularly recommend it. It doesn't do much. And what it does do, it doesn't do particularly well. On the positive side, getting what you had with NWFTPD out of OES "Novell FTP" is usually attainable now. But it requires getting your hands dirty and do a good review of pure-ftpd's abilities, settings, and methods.
    The "Novell FTP" install pattern in OES Install & Config will lum enable pure-ftpd for you (via pam configuration), add some settings to the /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf file for OES specific enhancements, and a few other things like that.
    The migration tool does one thing: It looks at a small number of setting in NetWare's sys:/etc/ftpserv.cfg and sets corresponding values in /etc/pure-ftpd/pure-ftpd.conf. But there are many settings unique to each, which don't translate. And the migration tool doesn't do all that it could, and it does some things it shouldn't:
    - It doesn't turn on all the remote server / ftp gateway / NCP home directory features that you're used to be always on in NWFTPD. In pure-ftpd, you have to turn those on yourself (in pure-ftpd.conf), as they are off by default. As these features are now optional, it was decided to have them default to being off. This keeps ftp server code paths much simpler for those who don't need those features.
    - It tends to remove some settings from pure-ftpd.conf if they are set to the defaults. While that won't have any negative impact on functionality, it is annoying for people who like to all the settings in the file, either as examples or to remind them of the current values. If you want to accomplish what the migration tool does without risking those deletions, I recommend you see table 25-1 at the following link. That shows what setting from NetWare are carried into pure-ftpd.conf during the migration process. You can usually do it manually in just a few minutes.
    Novell Documentation
    And as Ketter indicated in another reply, the OES 11 online doc holds information that will help. Much of the FTP home directory features were added or enhanced in OES 11 SP1, so be sure to use the current doc.

  • How to  limit the access of a transaction

    please provide hw to create an authorization object... like hw to limit the access of a particular userdefined trasaction to a particular user

    hi
    good
    Element of the authorization concept.
    Authorization objects allow you to define complex authorizations.
    An authorization object groups together up to 10 authorization fields in an AND relationship in order to check whether a user is allowed to perform a certain action.
    To pass an authorization test for an object, the user must satisfy the authorization check for each field in the object.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/52/671285439b11d1896f0000e8322d00/content.htm
    Basic form->
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT object
    ID name1 FIELD f1
    ID name2 FIELD f2
    ID name10 FIELD f10.
    Example
    Check whether the user is authorized for a particular plant. In this case, the following authorization object applies:
    Table OBJ : Definition of authorization object
    M_EINF_WRK
    ACTVT
    WERKS
    Here, M_EINF_WRK is the object name, whilst ACTVT and WERKS are authorization fields. For example, a user with the authorizations
    M_EINF_WRK_BERECH1
    ACTVT 01-03
    WERKS 0001-0003 .
    can display and change plants within the Purchasing and Materials Management areas.
    Such a user would thus pass the checks
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'
        ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0002'
        ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '02'.
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'
        ID 'WERKS' DUMMY
        ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '01':
    but would fail the check
    AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT 'M_EINF_WRK'
        ID 'WERKS' FIELD '0005'
        ID 'ACTVT' FIELD '04'.
    To suppress unnecessary authorization checks or to carry out checks before the user has entered all the values, use DUMMY - as in this example. You can confirm the authorization later with another AUTHORITY-CHECK .
    thanks

  • How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto with Lion? I've lost the drop down option.Karen

    How do I move emailed photos to iPhoto using Lion? I've lost the previous drop down option.
    Thank you, Karen

    There are multiple ways. I am not at my Lion machine at the moment, so I am not sure I can remember them all, but here is one: Click on the "Details" button in the upper right corner of the message. If there are image attachments, the drop down menu should appear.
    Or, try right click on the image. I think I saw "Add to iPhoto" in the contextual menu.

  • How to limit internet access in dpc3925

    Hi all,
    I have dpc3925 router and I want to restrict the time of internet access to a certain laptop.. I know it can be done... Plese help me how to do it... Appriciate thevhelp in advance....

    That is how the gateway is designed. As for the other software that you can use for restricting the laptop, you can try searching the net but I doubt it will work since the laptop is connected to the gateway’s network and it’s only thru the gateway that you can restrict that laptop at certain times to connect to the internet.

  • How to limit file access for different users in 10.7.4 Server

    We had everything working perfectly with an earlier version of Lion Server. The update to 10.7.3, or 4, seems to have opened access to all files for all users. Much to our surprise, this wide-open access started without warning.
    - We have an external drive that contains all of the company's archives
    - We had set access for one employee to get to the files he needs, and different access for another employee. Neither saw sharepoints outside of their access settings.
    After an update, each employee can see and log in to all sharepoints. There doesn't seem to be a way to limit access for each employee now. I can set 'read' access for one employee, but it doesn't stop the other employee from accessing that sharepoint/folder.
    Is there some new way to go about this? Or is something simply broken with the current release?

    That is good to know. If the file share is seeing the drive and ignoring its permissions, that is why everyone can see everything. I have found, in Lion Server, that it is best to get the permissions set before turning on File Sharing. I don't know if you have the luxury of turning the file share off for a little while, but I would unshare the drive and see if the issue persists if you plug the external drive into another machine. The settings for permissions are set on the file or folder itself, so the issue should follow you to the other machine.
    Again, if you can, I would unshare the drive and reshare it with the permissions that you want and turn file sharing back on. However, if you can get the drive to respect permissions rather than ignoring them, I think it will save you a lot of work.

  • DMS - locked status / how to limit security access

    I have a couple issues with a security profile (customer service) we have defined for DMS.   This profile is set up that when the document info record is in a "released" status, the customer service person has edit (CV02N) access.  When in an "on hold" status, the customer service person does not have edit (CV02N) access.  Further, the "Released" status is a "locked" status.
    1)  The Object links appears to be open for edit, regardless of whether or not we have the status "locked". 
    Also, the deletion indicator can be changed when in locked status.  I am looking for all fields to be locked except for the status field.  Customer Service should only be able to change status from "released" to "on hold", and should not be able to change anything else.  Any suggestions on how to do this?.
    2)  The intention is that the customer service person can use CV02N to change a document from "released" status to "on hold".  This is the ONLY change customer service should be able to make.  However, once the status changes from "released" to "on hold", it seems there is an authorization check missing.....  meaning now the customer service person is in "on hold" status and they should not be able to edit anything, but apparently they still have the CV02N access from the "released" status, and they can now also change any other fields, update object links and attachments before they save the document.  What am I missing?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

    Hi,
    U can use following authorization objects to resrticts the document access
    1.C_DRAD_OBJ - Create/Change/Display/Delete Objec
       here in activity field dont check delete, change option, so that user can not change, delete existing object links
    2. C_DRAW_TCD - Authorization for document activit
    here in activity field dont check delete option, so that user can not mark DIR for deletion.
    award points if useful

    You need to use the validate function of the Dialog object. It returns a boolean (true/false) that specifies whether the dialog needs to be closed or not (the user can still cancel out of the dialog, of course). So in your case it will be something like this:
    validate: function (dialog) {
        var results = dialog.store();
        if (!results["ckbx"]) {
            app.alert("You must tick the \"I Understand\" box.");
            return false;
        return true;

  • How to Limit Learner Access by Person Type

    My goal is to have a course or class for which only employees can self-enroll (contingent workers may not enroll). I am using the 11.5.10.2 EBS applications, where Learner Access can be controlled by individual learner or by position or job within an organization hierarchy. The OTA_EVENT_ASSOCIATIONS table corresponds to this structure, with columns for Job ID, Position ID, and Organization ID. Has anyone come up with a solution for defining learner access more flexibly? I found one Oracle Support note, 731227.1, where database triggers control administrative functionality within OLM, and I was wondering if triggers might also be useful for controlling who can enroll in a course (if person type is contractor, display a message, etc). I would be very interested to learn about creative solutions from the community. Thank you.

    Unfortunately, I haven't heard of a good custom solution for 11.5.10, but I know of one creative extension using Learner Groups coupled with eligibility profiles in R12 that I thought was good. I can provide you with contact info for the developer that built it at a company that I used to work for if you're interested.

  • How to use smb share for home directory with AD account

    I have extended the schema of our AD and bound a macbook pro running 10.6.8 to the domain. AD users are able to logon, and if I select the option to use their AD homedirectory attribute then this smb share is used as a network drive. My question is though, I need users to logon to MAC using a different smb share for their home drive than the path set in the home directory attribute. Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
    Cheers
    Paul.

    But this method cannot use Regular Expression because my searching target is more than one line.Yes it can!
    Like you said, first you list all the files in the folder.
    For each file, use a BufferedReader to read the first lines, then you may use a StringBuffer to append the lines into it (don't forget to append the '\n' to each line).
    Finally, compile your pattern ( "^November.*\nDecember" ) with the DOTALL flag,
    verify that the string (from StringBuffer) matches the pattern and there you have it!

  • How to perform Data Collection on single SFC with QTY = 1 with material lot size 1?

    Dear experts,
    We are working with SFC qty>1 on a relaxed routing. At a given operation we want to collect the data on single quantity; i.e. SFC qty on that operation, where the collection will happen, will be 1.The corresponding material lot size is for ex 10. The operator must be able to collect data on SFC with qty=1 multiple times until the quantities will be consumed. He must be also able to collect other values on the remaining quantities on the same operation with the same DC group or other DC groups. How many times the data must be collected is dependent on the shop order build quantity. The data may be collected several time but not more than the build qty. In other words some specific data will be collected on a qty of a product while others will be collected against remaining quantity. The data collection must be also done in a serialized manner.
    Here's what we have set up so far:
    1) 3 DC groups, each DC group has 3 data fields.
    2) Each data field has the following restrictions:  Required Data Entries = 0 and Optional Data Entries = 1
    3) All DC groups are attached on the same combination of operation\material\routing
    4) we are using relaxed routing
    Process description:
    The operator must be able to collect any data field on single product. For that he will enter the operation where the data collect are attached, he will enter the SFC with qty=1 then he will run the data collection after selecting the appropriate DC Group and entering the needed information. The operator will complete the SFC with qty=1.
    The operator will pick the next product, select the same SFC and enter qty 1 and collect other value against this product.
    Problem is:
    Once the first collection is done on a given SFC with entered qty=1, the system is not allowing the operator to do further collects on the same SFC with qty=1 or any other quantity. He cannot select any DC group from the DC group list. We tried also with the table selection menu on the DC Group list but nothing can be selected.
    So we tried to play around with the DC group definitions as follows:
    A) we set Required Data Entries = 0 and Optional Data Entries = 10. Still the operator was not able to select any DC group after collecting data the first time. We tried to reopen the pod and list again. But we get the same blocking behavior.
    B) we set Required Data Entries = 10 and Optional Data Entries = 1. The operator was able to select the DC group after collecting data the first time. BUT operator must enter the data fields 10 times on one SFC quantity, which is not what we want. Besides again he cannot collect other information on remaining quantities on the same operation.
    C) There's an option to serialize the SFC before reaching the operation where the collection is happening, then merging ofter complete. Automation is needed here; hence customization. We are highly avoiding customization now, since we expect the data collect to work well on single quantities even when the main SFC has qty>1
    Questions:
    1) Are we missing any kind of further configuration\setup?
    2) Or the current system design does not allow collecting data on single quantities of an SFC which main quantity is greater than 1?
    3) Looking at this link Approaches to Collection of Data - SAP Manufacturing Execution (SAP ME) - SAP Library, there's nothing mentioned about same SFC number with multiple quantities!!!
    We are using SAP ME 15.0.3.0.
    Thanks in advance for your help
    Ali

    Ali
    to collect data for the same SFC multiple times, your system rule "Allow Multiple Data Collection" needs to be set to true for the site.

  • How to protect both access (http and https) with a Policy Agent

    Hi,
    During the installation of a web Policy Agent (i.e. Policy Agent for IIS) we have to choose the protocol (and port) of the web server we want to protect.
    If we have an IIS with secure (https) and non secure (http) applications, how we manage this scenario with the policy agent?
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Finally, i have installed the agent in IIS5 in the non secure port (http) and in fact it detects both access (http and https) fine.
    The problem now is that if i try to access to a non secure url ( http://mynonsecureapp.com ) all works fine, the agent redirects to https://myaccessmanager.com:443/amserver/UI/Login?goto=http://mynonsecureapp.com but when i try to access to a secure url ( https://mysecureapp.com ) the agent try to redirects me to: https://myaccessmanager.com:443/amserver/UI/Login?goto=http://mysecureapp.com (notice that the agent removes the 's' in the url).
    The amAgent log file shows:
