Setting up a Virtual FTP Server
The steps to set up a virtual FTP server are as follows:
1. Set up an IP alias for the FTP server machine using theifconfig command. For
example:
ifconfig lan0:1 15.70.178.100 netmask 0xffffff00 up
The IP address 15.70.178.100 is set as an alias to the interface lan0. Now you
can access the FTP server machine with lan0 as the interface, with the IP address
15.70.178.100.
2. Declare the following directives in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
virtual 15.70.178.100 root/virtual
virtual 15.70.178.100 banner / virtual/banner.msg
virtual 15.70.178.100 logfile / virtual/xferlog
3. Create the directory /virtual and the files banner.msg and xferlog under
the /virtual directory.
4. Log in as an anonymous user on the virtual FTP server (that is, ftp
15.70.178.100). The banner.msg file displays from the /virtual directory.
The root directory of the anonymous user is changed to the directory as specified in
the virtual IP address root entry in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. For example:
virtual 15.70.178.100 root/virtual
In this example, the root directory of the anonymous user is changed to the /virtual
directory.
