Internet Services Delta Manual for HP-UX 11i Version 1.6

directory "/etc/ftpd" can now be overridden with a local copy specific to that domain. If you do
not wish to place a copy of one or all the files listed above in the virtual host directory for any
specific host, then the master copy can be used.
The following example illustrates a possible entry in the ftpservers configuration file:
123.123.123.123 /etc/ftpd/somedomain
In this example, when a ftp client connects to the server, using the IP Address 123.123.123.123,
the WU-FTPD server searches for the configuration files ftpaccess, ftphosts, ftpusers, ftpgroups and
ftpconversions under the directory "/etc/ftpd/somedomain". If a match is not found or an invalid
directory path is encountered, the default master configuration files in directory "/etc/ftpd" are
used instead.
privatepw
The admin utility "privatepw" allows modification of the WU-FTPD group access file information
(/etc/ftpd/ftpgroups). A site currently supports the ftp commands SITE GROUP and SITE
GPASS. When necessary, the administrator should be able to add, delete and list enhanced access
group information needed for these two commands. The privatepw utility is used to update this
information in the group access file (/etc/ftpd/ftpgroups). This command requires read/write
permission for the appropriate ftpgroups file.
NOTE: For more details on the different options available in privatepw, refer to the
privatepw(8) manpage.
New Clauses for ftpaccess
Several new ftpaccess clauses have been added to the file "/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess". The
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file is used to configure the operation of ftpd. The new clauses have
been listed below:
• Email-on-load:
Using this feature, email addresses can be specified for anonymous upload notifications. The
sender's email address can also be specified. By default, the sender's address is specified as
'wu-ftpd'. This can also be specified for virtual hosts. To avoid any problems if the recipient
attempts to reply to a notification, or if downstream mail problems generate bounces, ensure
that the mailfrom address is deliverable.
The general syntax for this is:
mailfrom <hostname>
incmail <emailaddress>
virtual <address> incmail <emailaddress>
defaultserver incmail <email address>
mailfrom <emailaddress>
virtual <address> mailfrom <emailaddress>
defaultserver incmail <emailaddress>
deny-email <case-insensitive-email-address>
NOTE: For more details on the email-on-load feature, refer to the ftpaccess (4) manpage.
mailserver <abc.com>
Specifying the name of a mail server that will accept upload notifications for the WU-FTP
daemon. This option is relevant only if someone has to be notified of anonymous uploads.
incmail <[e-mail]>
Specifying the email addresses to be notified of anonymous uploads.
