NOTE: Do not use the virtual address incmail emailaddress directive in
the virtual domain's ftpaccess file because it does not have any effect.
The 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: Do not use the virtual address mailfrom emailaddress directive in
the virtual domain's ftpaccess file because it does not have any effect.
Setting up a Virtual FTP Server
The procedure to set up a virtual FTP server is as follows:
1. Set up an IP alias for the FTP server machine using the ifconfig command. For
example:
ifconfig lan0:1 15.70.178.100 netmask 0xffffff00 up
The IP address 15.70.178.100 is set as an alias to the interface lan0. Now you
can access the FTP server machine with lan0 as the interface, with the IP address
15.70.178.100.
2. Declare the following directives in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
virtual 15.70.178.100 root/virtual
virtual 15.70.178.100 banner / virtual/banner.msg
virtual 15.70.178.100 logfile / virtual/xferlog
3. Create the directory /virtual and the files banner.msg and xferlog under
the /virtual directory.
4. Log in as an anonymous user on the virtual FTP server (that is, ftp
15.70.178.100). The banner.msg file is displayed from the /virtual directory.
The root directory of the anonymous user is changed to the directory as specified in the
virtual IP address root entry in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file. For example:
virtual 15.70.178.100 root/virtual
In this example, the root directory of the anonymous user is changed to the /virtual
directory.
You must ensure that the files referenced after changing the root directory exist in the
virtual server (similar to the scenario for setting up an anonymous account).
The privatepw Utility
The administrative utility, /usr/bin/privatepw, is used to update the group access
file information in the /etc/ftpd/ftpgroups file. The administrator can add, delete,
and list enhanced access group information required for the commands SITE GROUP
and SITE GPASS. The /usr/bin/privatepw command requires read and write
