There is no such file /etc/ftpaccess.ctl
ASKER
The only file is there is /etc/ftpusers
# pwd
/etc
# more ftpusers
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uucp
nuucp
listen
nobody
noaccess
nobody4
# pwd
/etc
# more ftpusers
root
daemon
bin
sys
adm
lp
uucp
nuucp

nobody
noaccess

/etc/ftpusers contains users who are forbidden to use ftp at all.
Which FTP server do you use? If it'sa third party product, maybe it has its own config file?
What if you login directly (telnet or ssh or the like)? Do you see the same effect?

no we are using native solaris 8
What do you see on England when you issue 'ls' or 'dir'? The contents of the real root (/) or the contents of the user's home?
If it's the user's home, there is no other possibility - the user gets chrooted somehow.
If it's indeed '/' - double-check the user's homedir setting!

yes it does get chrooted my question is how can i fix that ..on the other server evrything is the same how can i fix that so both servers are the same ...
Is there a dot (.) somewhere in the home directory path specification in /etc/passwd of the affected user?
Again - do you see the contents of the user's home with 'ls', or something else?
