• Default Host Name
This feature defines the default host name of the FTP server that is displayed in the
greeting message. If you do not specify this clause, the default host name of the
local machine is used.
The syntax for the specifying the default host name is as follows:
hostname <some.host.name>
Example 3 The hostname Clause
An example of the hostname clause is as follows:
hostname telnet2.123.com
This clause displays the default host name (telnet2.123.com) instead of the
actual host name in the greeting message.
• Control Information
This feature allows you to control the information specified in the greeting message
before a remote user logs in. For the greeting message, you can specify the host
name and the daemon version, only the host name, or only the message FTP
server ready. The default greeting clause is greeting full.
The syntax for the greeting clause is as follows:
greeting full brief terse
greeting text <message>
Using the greeting text <message> clause, you can print a message different
from the standard greeting message.
Example 4 The greeting Clause
An example for the greeting clause is as follows:
greeting text Hi!!! Welcome to FTP Server
This clause displays the message Hi!!! Welcome to FTP server as the greeting
message.
• Session Time Limit
This feature allows you to limit the total time for a session. By default, a limit is not
set. Real users are never limited.
The syntax for limiting the total time of a session is as follows:
limit-time {* anonymous guest} <minutes>
