The virtual address allow usernameand virtual address deny username directives
These directives are used to allow or deny real and guest users. They can be used in the
/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file and the virtual domain specific ftpaccess file.
virtual address allow username [ username ... ]
virtual address deny username [ username ... ]
The virtual address private directive
This directive is used to deny anonymous FTP login. By default, anonymous users are
allowed to log in a virtual FTP setup.
virtual address private
The virtual address root path and virtual address banner path directives
These directives are used to display the banner message and are used in the /etc/
ftpd/ftpacess file.
virtual address root path virtual address banner path
NOTE: The virtual address root path directive must be mentioned for the
virtual address banner path directive to work. This directive is additionally
required to allow anonymous FTP access in a virtual FTP setup.
The virtual address banner path directive must be used only in the /etc/ftpd/
ftpaccess file and not in the virtual domain's ftpaccess file. The above directive
overrides the banner path directive. If the master /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
configuration file has banner path directive but not virtual address banner
path directive, the banner path directive does not have any effect on the behavior
of the ftpd(1M) daemon.
The virtual address root path directive can also be used in conjunction with
the virtual address email string directive.
For more information, see “The virtual address root path and virtual
address email string directives.”
The virtual address logfile path directive
This directive is used to change the file where all the logging information of ftpd(1M)
must be written. This directive is used in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
