Message ProFtpd

[DRKT]

Hi!

Would it be possible To create a message (ProFtpd) welcome.msg in DA and to publish it on the occasion?

Thanks!!

Something like this?

If you want a welcome message for other ftp acccounts, you could create a welcome.msg file in the root directory for the ftp account.

Hi!

yes but it is only for the anonymous accounts? For is the Shared accounts possible? Because, I wanted to put a general message.

Thanks!

Hello,

Which shared ftp account? .. the public_ftp directory uses the same one as the anonymous ftp account, so the welcome.msg should still apply. For any other ftp accounts, just create a welcome.msg file in the ftp root.

Hello,

I've put a welcome.msg file in the root ftp, as well as other directories to make it work. but nothing. I even set the DisplayLogin directive to have a static file at /etc/welcome.msg so that everyone would see the same one..still didnt work..do i have to put the directive outside of <global> or does it special permissions?.....

Thanks!

By ftp root, I mean the document root:

/home/username/domains/domain.com/public_ftp/welcome.msg

or

/home/username/domains/domain.com/public_html/user/welcome.msg

could such a feature not be implanted in DA?

I think it must be quite simple.

But well, it all takes resources.

Hi!

ok, putting it in those paths, then restarting proftp still gives me nothing... ok that's nice...shouldn't it work with the static path so that i'd only need 1 welcome.msg that everyone will see?

Thanks!

Ftp doesn't have any knowledge of cross-account linking.. meaning.. it only checks the ftp root... so if there is a file, it *should* show up.. not sure why it wouldn't. And yes, it's possible to do that in DA, but of course, it would take time.
