THE VIRTUAL SERVER HANDBOOK

To create a directory message:

Create a file named 

.message

 in the directory where you want the

message to appear. The text message you create in the 

.message

 file

displays when the user accesses that directory.

For example, you could promote a demo version of your company's

software in the DEMO directory with a 

.message

 file containing the

following text:

This directory contains demo versions of ACME

Rocket s products:

missile.zip   Missile CAD(tm) Version 1.0 (DEMO)

nuke.zip   Thermo Nuclear War Simulator(tm)

Version 2.1 (DEMO)

Creating Non Anonymous FTP

Accounts

If you configure your virtual server to handle non anonymous FTP

accounts, you can easily add FTP accounts for some users. Adding FTP

accounts enables you to control who uploads or downloads the following:

Web content.

Files in the anonymous FTP file area.

Files in the private FTP upload/download directories.

Note:  Most customers use non anonymous FTP on their virtual servers.

Customers can then resell server space to clients, that enables them to

maintain their own home pages. In addition, companies who want to

restrict downloads of valuable information can use password restricted

anonymous FTP.

The procedure for adding Non Anonymous FTP accounts is similar to the

procedure for adding POP Mail accounts. When you create this FTP

account, the server automatically creates an E mail POP account for the

user. If you do not wish the user to access E mail on your server, do not tell

the user about the E mail account.

To add Non Anonymous FTP accounts

1.

Log into the server using the virtual administrator login name and

password.

2.

Use the 

vadduser 

command. For example:

{1} % vadduser

Note:  E mail User Names can be up to 8 characters and consist of

upper or lower case characters or digits. E mail User Names must start

with an alphabetic character.

3.

Enter a password for this user s POP mail account. Enter the password

twice.

4.

Enter the E mail User s full name. Use less than 80 characters and no  : 

characters.
