Hello there,
we have a VDI based server.
I like to know if there is a possibilitie to change the server name that clients can see if they FTP on his account (on a shared IP address)
In this way clients of resellers dont see where they buy here webspace...
If possible i like to show an "anonymus" IP address.
Anybody can tell me how to do this?

thank you.

I think VDI uses ProFTPD (http://www.proftpd.net/)... If so, you can edit proftpd.conf (usually in /etc ) and add: DeferWelcome on

Try http://www.proftpd.net/docs/configuration.html#DeferWelcome for more info.

thanks Rehan Yes there use proftpd .
I check this but dont finde the actually server name on config file so could not do any changes.. :bawling:

Marc, the login normally looks like this:C:\>ftp imareseller.com
Connected to imareseller.com.
220 ProFTPD 1.2.1 Server (realname.host.com FTP server) [realname.host.com]
User (imareseller.com:(none)):

Here, [realname.host.com] comes from the operating system (it's the hostname), and (realname.host.com FTP server) is based on the ServerName directive in proftpd.conf. I guess sometimes the ServerName directive is in proftpd.conf, and sometimes it's not.

But regardless of what those settings are, if you set "DeferWelcome" to on, neither of those things will be displayed in the FTP login prompt. You'll need to restart proftpd after you make the change in the config file.

Marc,

While your in the ProFTPD config file if your version is 1.2.1 or below add the following directive in the <GLOBAL> context.

DenyFilter \*.*/

This takes care of a DoS vulnerabilty. If your hosting provider has not already added it.

hi there,
thank for all you help.
Anothe question.
Since some reseller ask me have "complet anonynity" they don't like to show the server who mailed here message to here customer (of course the will be dispayed our server name)
Is there a way to do changes also for this?
E.g. use the IP address - anonymus - instead the server name?
(we have currentely an anonymus IP where all domains will be setup)


Thanks at all
