Following are examples of the email-on-load feature:
◦ mailserver abc.com
This specifies the name of a mail server that accepts upload notifications for the
FTP daemon. You can use this option to notify any user of anonymous uploads.
◦ incmail def@abc.com
This specifies the email addresses to be notified of anonymous uploads.
◦ mailfrom ghi@abc.com
This specifies the sender’s email address for anonymous upload notifications.
• Timeout Values
You can configure timeout values used within the FTP daemon by using the timeout
options. Table 1 describes the FTP daemon timeout values.
Table 1 FTP Daemon timeout Options
DescriptionOption
The time period for which the daemon waits for an incoming (PASV-passive) data
connection. The default value is 120 seconds.
accept
The time period the daemon waits before attempting to establish an outgoing
(PORT-port) data connection. The default value is 120 seconds. The connect
option affects the actual connection attempt. The daemon makes several attempts
at regular intervals, sleeping between each attempt, before disconnecting. During
the 120-minute timeframe, the daemon continues its attempt to establish a
connection. If the daemon fails to establish a connection during this time period,
it disconnects.
connect
The time period the daemon waits for some activity on the data connection. The
default value is 1200 seconds.
data
The time period the daemon waits for the next command. The default value is 900
seconds.
idle
The maximum time period the daemon allows for entire RFC 931 (Authentication
Server) conversation. The default value is 10 seconds.
RFC931
The SITE IDLE command allows the remote client to establish a higher value for
the idle timeout. With the maxidle option set in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess
file, you can override the value set with the SITE IDLE command. The default
value is 1200 seconds.
maxidle
The syntax for the timeout clauses are as follows:
timeout accept <seconds>
timeout connect <seconds>
timeout data <seconds>
timeout idle <seconds>
