WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes (5900-2465, September 2012)

The syntax for the greeting clause is as follows:
greeting full brief terse
greeting text <message>
Using the greeting text <message> clause, you can print a message different from the
standard greeting message.
Example 4 The greeting Clause
An example for the greeting clause is as follows:
greeting text Hi!!! Welcome to FTP Server
This clause displays the message Hi!!! Welcome to FTP server as the greeting message.
• Session Time Limit
This feature allows you to limit the total time for a session. By default, a limit is not set. Real
users are never limited.
The syntax for limiting the total time of a session is as follows:
limit-time {* anonymous guest} <minutes>
• Treatment of UIDs and GIDs as Guests
This feature allows you to force the user IDs (UIDs) and group IDs (GIDs) in a range to be
treated as guests.
The syntax for treating UIDs and GIDs as guests is as follows:
guestuser <username> [ username ... ]
realgroup <groupname> [ groupname ... ]
realuser <username> [ username ... ]
• Upload and Download Ratios
You can set the upload and download ratio to limit the user’s ability to upload and download
files. By default, a ratio is not set.
The syntax for setting the upload and download ratio is as follows:
ul-dl-rate <rate> [ class ...]
dl-free <filename> [ class ...]
dl-free-dir <dirname> [ class ...]
Example 5 The ul-dl-rate Clause
An example for the ul-dl-rate clause is as follows:
ul-dl-rate 2
For every 1 byte of data that is uploaded, the ftp server allows 2 bytes of data to be
downloaded.
• The nice Clause
The nice clause allows you to modify the nice value of the FTP server if the remote user is
a member of the named class. If you do not specify the class, use nice-delta as the default
adjustment to the nice value of the FTP server process. The default nice value adjustment is
used to adjust the nice value of the server process. You can use the adjustment only for users
who do not belong to any class for which a class-specific nice directive exists in the
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
The syntax for the nice clause is as follows:
nice <nice-delta> [ class ]
