One can create banner message files and directory message files with vsftpd. I have been searching trying to find the format for those files without success. For example, some ftp servers can use a .message file format to show the value of variables (tokens) in the message: cat .message The time is %T. This folder can only be used for uploading files and cannot be viewed. or cat welcome.message Welcome %c from %h to the ftp server. We have %N connections at %T. All activities are logged. Is this possible with vsftpd and if so, would someone please point me to the appropriate documentation for the tokens that can be used? I have tried several and they are all ignored as tokens. -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
