Command Description

CHMOD Change mode of a file. (e.g., SITE CHMOD 755 filename)

The remaining FTP requests specified in Internet RFC 959 are recognized, but not implemented. MDTM
and SIZE are not specified in RFC 959, but are expected in the next updated FTP RFC.
The FTP server aborts an active file transfer only when the ABOR command is preceded by a Telnet "Inter-
rupt Process" (IP) signal and a Telnet ‘‘Synch’’ signal in the command Telnet stream, as described in Inter-
net RFC 959. If ftpd receives a STAT command during a data transfer, preceded by a Telnet IP and
Synch, it returns the status of the transfer.
ftpd interprets file names according to the ‘‘globbing’’ conventions used by csh(1). This allows users to
utilize the metacharacters *, ., [, ], {, }, ˜, and ?.
ftpd authenticates users according to three rules:
• The user name must be in the password data base, /etc/passwd , and not have a null password.
The client must provide the correct password for the user before any file operations can be per-
formed.
• The user name must not appear in the file /etc/ftpd/ftpusers (see ftpusers(4)).
• The user must have a standard shell returned by getusershell().
