The ftpconversions Configuration File
The new /etc/ftpd/ftpconversions configuration file defines
options for the following:
• compression/decompression
• tar/un-tar operations
A sample file is provided in /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd. You can edit
this file and copy it to its correct location,
/etc/ftpd/ftpconversions. The ftpconversions file lets you
configure the ftp server so that if the user specifies a filename (when
using a get command) certain compression and tar operations take place
(as shown in the following table):
True Filename Specified Filename Action
<filename>.Z <filename> Decompress file before
transmitting.
<filename> <filename>.Z Compress <filename>
before transmitting.
<filename> <filename>.tar Tar <filename> before
transmitting.
<filename> <filename>.tar.Z Tar and compress
<filename> before
transmitting.
