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

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 [e-mail]
This specifies the email addresses to be notified of anonymous uploads.
◦ mailfrom [e-mail]
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>
timeout maxidle <seconds>
timeout RFC931 <seconds>
Following are some examples for the timeout clause:
◦ timeout idle 200
This displays the message Current IDLE time limit is 200 seconds; max
7200
◦ timeout maxidle 6200
This displays the message Current IDLE time limit is 200 seconds; max
6200
◦ timeout RFC931 0
This disables RFC 931-based authentication because 0 is specified.
