WU-FTPD Release Notes for Version 2.4 13
New ftp Support Commands
New ftp Support Commands
The following new support commands are available with this version of
ftp:
• ftpcount
This command shows the current number of users for each class and
the limit for each class as defined in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
If the ftpaccess file does not exist, the ftpcount command will not
display anything. However, if the ftpaccess file exists and is 0 bytes,
then an error message will be displayed.
For more details, see the ftpcount (1) manpage.
• ftpwho
This command shows the current process information for each user
logged into the ftp server. If the ftpaccess file does not exist, the
ftpwho command will not display anything. However, if the ftpaccess
file exists and is 0 bytes, then an error message will be displayed.
For details, see the ftpwho (1) manpage.
• ckconfig
This command verifies the pathnames of all the ftp configuration
files.
For details, see the ckconfig(1) manpage.
• ftpshut
This command allows superusers to create a shutdown message file
that warns users before ftpd shuts down. An ftp daemon checks this
file at intervals to determine the shutdown time.
To use the ftpshut command, perform the following steps:
1. Edit the /etc/ftpaccess file, so that the “shutdown <path>”
entry specifies a path to the shutdown message file.
