    Question Changing the default server FTP logon banner message

    How can one change the default server FTP logon banner message?

    This would be a good place to put the server name that the customer is on.


    220 ProFTPD 1.2.4 Server (ftp.domain.com) [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx]
    331 Password required for "user name".
    230 User "user name" logged in.

    # We want 'welcome.msg' displayed at login, and '.message' displayed
    # in each newly chdired directory.
    DisplayLogin welcome.msg
    DisplayFirstChdir .message

    This should help...

    For clarity's sake, don't use "<ip address of hostname>" use the ACTUAL 32-bit numeric IP address of the machine.

    CrowMan,

    Sure..

    ProFTPd by default shows teh hostname of the server on which it is running for each login

    If you want to change it to "ftp.xanadu.com" just put

    ServerIdent On " ftp.xanadu.com" in proftpd.conf file

    and it will display

    ProFTPd ftp.xanadu.com

    You may need to kill the current proftpd processes and restart the daemon for this to take effect

    If you need any more info just holler!

    Cheers
