Administering the FTP local user accounts

The FTP> local user commands let you create and manage local user accounts on the FTP server.

When you add a local user account, the user's home directory is created automatically on the FTP server. User home directories on the FTP server are specified by path/username where path is the home directory path configured by the FTP > set homedir_path command.

All users are limited to their home directories and are not allowed to access files on the FTP server beyond their home directories.

```
FTP> local user add username

where username is the name of the user whose account you want to add.
When the password prompt appears, enter a password for the local user.
Type the password again for verification.

To change a password for a local user

To change a password for a local user, enter the following:
```

When the password prompt appears, enter a new password, then type the password again for verification.

To delete a local user account

To delete a local user account, enter the following:
