NOTE: The virtual address incmail emailaddress directive does not require
the virtual address root path directive. This directive overrides the incmail
emailaddress directive. If the master /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess configuration file has
the incmail emailaddress directive but does not have the virtual address
incmail emailaddress directive, the incmail emailaddress directive does not
affect the behavior of the ftpd(1M) daemon.
The virtual address mailfrom emailaddress directive
This directive is used to change the sender's email address for anonymous upload
notifications. This directive is used in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
NOTE: The virtual address mailfrom emailaddress directive does not
require the virtual address root path directive. This directive overrides the
mailfrom emailaddress directive. If the master /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
configuration file has the mailfrom emailaddress directive but does not have the
virtual address mailfrom emailaddress directive, the mailfrom
emailaddress directive does not affect the behavior of the ftpd(1M) daemon.
With ftpservers(4) File
Use the following directives to achieve the configurations described in “Without ftpservers
(4) File” (page 22):
• virtual address allow username [ username ... ]
• virtual address deny username [ username ... ]
• virtual address private
• root path
• banner path
• logfile path
• hostname string
• email string
• incmail emailaddress
• mailfrom emailaddress
Usage
This section describes the functionality of the various directives.
The virtual address allow username and virtual address deny username directives
These directives are used to allow or deny real and guest users to log in a virtual FTP
setup. These directives can also be used in the master /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file.
