Configuring FTP on a Unix/Linux Database server

If your IEE database runs on a Unix or Linux server, you must configure a user group and a readings directory for the FTP client and ensure that the group has read/write permissions for the directory.

Note: The Oracle owner must have read/write permission to the directory.

Use the following procedure to configure the FTP on a Unix/Linux Database Server:

1. Create a new group. For example:

   groupadd ami

2. Create users within the new that group. For example:

   usermod -G ami openway usermod -G ami oracle

3. Assign ownership of the hvreadings directory to the new group:

   chgrp ami /oradata0/hvreadings

4. Make the directory writeable by only the owner and group:

   chmod 775 /oradata0/hvreadings

5. Open /etc/inetd.conf for edit.

6. At the end of the ftpd line, add:

   -u 002
