Hello,
I am very concerned about the security of my servers. My favourite
file-management software does not support any other unix standards than
plain ftp.
How is it possible to set up my FreeBSD 5.2.1 that way, that it will
accept ftp connections only from itself, so that iff the login to the
system is done via SSH with port-forwarding, then one can open
ftp-connection?
(It will be very nice if in this case the username/password is not
requested again, i.e. the ftp connection is anonymous and yet the
ftp-client gets the same rights to files as SSH-logged user, who has the
port-forwarding, but this does not sound like easy doable.)
Put it in other words, how can I make ftpd listen only to 127.0.0.1?
Constantine.
