New Feature Related to Data Transfer
The following lists the data transfer features:
• For statistical purposes, you can track the total bytes of data transferred. Also, you
can limit the number of data bytes that a user, in any given class, can transfer. You
can specify a directive in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file to limit the number of
bytes incoming, outgoing, or both.
The syntax for the directive is as follows:
data-limit [raw] in out total count [class]
A default limit is specified to all the classes for which you have not specified a limit.
When the FTP session logs off, this directive prints the number of files and the number
of bytes transferred.
• You can limit the number of data files that a user, in the given class, can transfer in
a session. You can specify a directive in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file to limit
the number of incoming files, outgoing files, or both.
The syntax for the directive is as follows:
file-limit [raw] in out total count [class]
If you do not specify a class, a default limit is specified to all the classes for which
a limit is not specified.
For more information, type man 4 ftpaccess at the HP-UX prompt.
Field Added to the /var/adm/syslog/xferlog File
A new field is added to the /var/adm/syslog/xferlog file to indicate the completion
status of the data transfer. A field value of C indicates complete transfer.
For more information on the new fields in the /var/adm/syslog/xferlog file, see
xferlog(5).
