WU-FTPD 2.6.1 release notes (5900-1739, May 2011)

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 permission for the appropriate
ftpgroups file to modify the access group information. For more information, type man 4
ftpgroups at the HP-UX prompt.
New clauses in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file
The following new clauses are added in the /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:
• The email-on load Clause
You can use this clause to specify email addresses for anonymous upload notifications and
also to specify the email address of the sender. By default, the address of the sender is specified
as wu-ftpd. You can specify this for virtual hosts also. If the recipient attempts to reply to a
notification or if downstream mail problems generate bounces, ensure that the mailfrom
address is a valid address, to avoid delivery problems.
The syntax for the email-on load feature is as follows:
◦ mailserver <hostname>
◦ incmail <emailaddress>
virtual <address> incmail <emailaddress>
defaultserver incmail <email address>
◦ mailfrom <emailaddress>
virtual <address> mailfrom <emailaddress>
defaultserver incmail <emailaddress>
◦ deny-email <case-insensitive-email-address>
If you specify virtual host addresses, the addresses only on a particular host receive
notification messages of anonymous uploads. Otherwise, notifications are sent to the global
addresses.
The defaultserver addresses apply only to real hosts and not to virtual hosts. Hence, the
real host receives notifications of uploads on its default anonymous area. However, with this
option set, the virtual hosts are not notified. For more information on the email-on-load
feature, see ftpaccess(4).
