ftp problem to zsh-users

ftp problem to zsh-users

[Andres Gomez Navarro]

Hello:
	 I have a ftp problem: When I use ftp to a zhs-user it appears the message:  
 530 User xxxxx access denied
Login failed.
and I can not reach the user. It does not matter if the origin-user is csh or zsh, but if the destination is zsh-user the problem always appears.
	Other annoyance is with the 'man', not all the commands are available
for the 'man'  from the zhsell (v.g. f77 has not man page form zhsell, in cshell yes).
Could you help me. Thanks,
				Andres Gomez

I'm guessing what you're trying to do is ftp in to a machine where the user
has a login shell of zsh?
If so, ftp daemons require (or everyone I know of in practice) that the user
have a shell listed in /etc/shells (normal placement).  
Look in `ftpd' man page.  You probably need to add "/usr/local/bin/zsh" (or
whatever on the target machine).

Look in `man' man page.  man might use an environmental variable MANPATH
which is set differently between your shells.  You probably want to set it
in $HOME/.zshenv
