Thanks priyadi 02-09-2002, 09:56 AM That depends on where you get that term. :D Most probably, it refers to the ability of an FTP server to serve multiple virtual user from only one real system username. Tim Greer 02-09-2002, 10:20 AM I'd say it's most likely the term for multiple accounts in the way of; A person can have their own username that is controlled per domain/account (I.e., bob@domainA.com is different from bob@domainB.com, even if the two bob's are on the same system and there's a real "bob" user that has nothing to do with them) -- i.e., it would not match the user and password from the main system user or main password file, but rather /another/path/to/that/domains/passwd file. (i.e., virtual != real) However, I guess I've seen people say it's to be able to FTP in to their own domain with only one IP running them all too, but.. well, there's probably a lot of ways to come up with different meanings. |
