NOTE: A sample configuration file exists in the

Example 1 The /etc/ftpd/ftpserver Configuration File Entry
The following example shows a possible entry in the /etc/ftpd/ftpservers
configuration file:
123.123.123.123 /etc/ftpd/somedomain
In this example, when an FTP client connects to the server using the IP address
123.123.123.123, the 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 the /etc/ftpd directory are used
instead.
Support for Virtual FTP
Virtual FTP is supported in the following ways:
• Without the ftpservers(4) file - By using the master /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
configuration file. For more information, see ““Without ftpservers (4) File” (page 22).”
• With the ftpservers(4) file - By using the virtual domain's ftpaccess configuration
file. For more information, see “With ftpservers(4) File” (page 25).
Without ftpservers (4) File
WU-FTP 2.6.1 supports the following directives for Virtual FTP support in the master
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file:
• virtual address allow username [ username ... ]
• virtual address deny username [ username ... ]
• virtual address private
• virtual address { root|banner|logfile } path
• virtual address { hostname|email } string
• virtual address incmail emailaddress
• virtual address mailfrom emailaddress
Usage
This section describes the functionality of the various directives.
