New Feature Related to Data Transfer
The following lists the data transfer features:
• For statistical purposes, you can keep track of the total bytes of data transferred.
Also, you can limit the number of data bytes a user in any given class can transfer.
You can specify a directive in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file to limit the number
of bytes incoming, outgoing, or both.
The syntax for the directive is as follows:
data-limit [raw] in out total count [class]
A default limit is specified to all the classes for which you have not specified a
limit. When the FTP session logs off, this directive prints the number of files and
the number of bytes transferred.
• You can limit the number of data files a user in the given class can transfer in a
session. You can specify a directive in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file to limit
the number of incoming files, outgoing files, or both.
The syntax for the directive is as follows:
file-limit [raw] in out total count [class]
If you do not specify a class, a default limit is specified to all the classes for which
a limit is not specified.
For more information, type man 4 ftpaccess at the HP-UX prompt.
Field Added to the /var/adm/syslog/xferlog File
A new field is added to the /var/adm/syslog/xferlog file to indicate the completion
status of the data transfer. A field value of C indicates complete transfer.
For more information on the new fields in the /var/adm/syslog/xferlog file, see
