22 WU-FTPD Release Notes for Version 2.4
New ftp Configuration Files
Enabling/Disabling tar and compression
You enable/disable tar and compression in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file,
by specifying yes or no with the tar and compression keywords. The
default is "yes" to enable tar and compression.
NOTE For more details, see the ftpconversions (4) manpage.
The ftphosts Configuration File
The new /etc/ftpd/ftphosts configuration file can be used to
deny/allow access to certain accounts from specified hosts.
A sample file is provided in /usr/newconfig/etc/ftpd/ftphosts.
You can edit this file and copy it to its correct location,
/etc/ftpd/ftphosts.
NOTE For more details, see the ftphosts (4) manpage.
The ftpusers Configuration File
The ftpusers configuration file defines security for ftpd. ftp rejects login
connections to local user accounts that are named in the ftpusers file.
The ftpusers configuration file has been moved from /etc directory to the
/etc/ftpd directory.
When you install ftp, the utility checks whether the /etc/ftpusers file
already exists or not from a previous version of ftp. If a ftpusers file
already exists in /etc, then a link is created from
/etc/ftpd/ftpusers to /etc/ftpusers. If the /etc/ftpusers file
does not exist, then it is created in the /etc/ftpd directory.
NOTE For more details, see the ftpusers (4) manpage.
