WU-FTPD 2.6.1 Release Notes for HP-UX 11i v1, HP-UX 11i v2 and HP-UX 11i v3

1. Set up an IP alias for the FTP server machine using the ifconfig 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 is displayed 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.
You must ensure that the files referenced after changing the root directory exist in the
virtual server (similar to the scenario for setting up an anonymous account).
The privatepw Utility
The administrative utility, /usr/bin/privatepw, is used to update the group access
file information in the /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups file. The administrator can add, delete,
and list enhanced access group information required for the commands SITE GROUP
and SITE GPASS. The /usr/bin/privatepw command requires read and write
permission for the appropriate ftpgroups file to modify the access group information.
For more information, type man 4 ftpgroups at the HP-UX prompt.
New Clauses in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess File
The following new clauses are added in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
• The email-on load Clause
You can use this clause to specify email addresses for anonymous upload
notifications and also to specify the email address of the sender. By default, the
address of the sender is specified as wu-ftpd. You can specify this for virtual
hosts also. If the recipient attempts to reply to a notification or if downstream mail
problems generate bounces, ensure that the mailfrom address is a valid address,
to avoid delivery problems.
