Hi guys. I'm kinda new to this so bear with me. I've set up a server and now I need to create ftp user for it. I'm doing this by typing:
useradd pavel
passwd pavel
And then I'm running
iptables -I INPUT 1 -p tcp --dport 21 -j ACCEPT
iptables-save > /etc/iptables.rules
in order to open ftp ports and lastly, I'm changing the usermod by:
usermod -s /bin/sh pavel
So now tell me - what I'm doing wrong here? I just want to connect using FTP protocol. Please help...
