NOTE: The virtual address logfile path directive does not require the
virtual address root directive. This directive overrides the logfile path
directive. If the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file has the logfile path directive but does
not have the virtual address logfile path directive, then the logfile path
directive does not affect the behavior of the ftpd(1M) daemon.
The virtual address hostname string directive
This directive is used to change the default hostname of the FTP server. This directive is
used in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
NOTE: The virtual address hostname string directive does not require the
virtual address root directive. This directive overrides the hostname string
directive. If the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file has the hostname string directive but
does not have the virtual address hostname string directive, then the
hostname string directive does not affect the behavior of the ftpd(IM) daemon. If
both the virtual address hostname string directive and the hostname string
directive are present in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, the virtual address
hostname string directive does not affect the behavior of the ftpd(1M) daemon.
The virtual address root path and virtual address email string directives
These directives are used to change the email address of the FTP archive maintainer.
These directives are used in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
NOTE: The virtual address root path directive must be mentioned for the
virtual address email string directive to work. This directive overrides the
email string directive. If the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file has the email string
directive but does not have the virtual address email string directive, the
email string directive does not affect the behavior of the ftpd(1M) daemon. If both
virtual address email string and email string directives are present in
the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file, the virtual address email string takes
precedence over the email string directive.
The virtual address incmail emailaddress directive
This directive is used to change the email address for anonymous upload notifications.
This directive is used in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
