Directives that appear later in the file override settings by previous directives. This allows .Sq wildcard entries to define defaults, and then have class-specific overrides. .Pp A directive line has the format .Dl command class [arguments] .Pp A .Dq \e is the escape character; it can be used to escape the meaning of the comment character, or if it is the last character on a line, extends a configuration directive across multiple lines. A .Dq # is the comment character, and all characters from it to the end of line are ignored (unless it is escaped with the escape character). .Pp Each authenticated user is a member of a .Em class , which is determined by .Xr ftpusers 5 . .Em class is used to determine which .Nm entries apply to the user. The following special classes exist when parsing entries in .Nm "" : .Bl -tag -width "chroot" -compact -offset indent .It Sy all Matches any class. .It Sy none Matches no class. .El .Pp Each class has a type, which may be one of: .Bl -tag -width "CHROOT" -offset indent .It Sy GUEST Guests (as per the .Dq anonymous and .Dq ftp logins). A .Xr chroot 2 is performed after login. .It Sy CHROOT .Xr chroot 2 ed users (as per .Xr ftpchroot 5 ) . A .Xr chroot 2 is performed after login. .It Sy REAL Normal users. .El .Pp The .Xr ftpd 8 .Sy STAT command will return the class settings for the current user as defined by .Nm "" . .Pp Each configuration line may be one of: .Bl -tag -width 4n .It Sy checkportcmd Ar class Op Sy off Check the PORT command for validity. The PORT command will fail if the IP address specified does not match the .Tn FTP command connection, or if the remote TCP port number is less than .Dv IPPORT_RESERVED . It is .Em strongly encouraged that this option be used, espcially for sites concerned with potential security problems with .Tn FTP bounce attacks. If .Ar class is .Dq none or .Sy off is given, disable this feature, otherwise enable it. .It Sy chroot Ar class Op Sy pathformat If .Ar pathformat is not given or .Ar class is .Dq none , use the default behaviour (see below). Otherwise, .Ar pathformat is parsed to create a directory to create as the root directory with .Xr chroot 2 into upon login. .Pp .Ar pathformat can contain the following escape strings: .Bl -tag -width "Escape" -offset indent -compact .It Sy "Escape" .Sy Description .It "\&%c" Class name. .It "\&%d" Home directory of user. .It "\&%u" User name. .It "\&%\&%" A .Dq \&% character. .El .Pp The default root directory is .Pa / for .Sy REAL users, and the user's home directory for .Sy GUEST and .Sy CHROOT users. .It Sy classtype Ar class Ar type Set the class type of .Ar class to .Ar type (see above). .It Xo Sy conversion Ar class .Ar suffix Op Ar "type disable command" .Xc Define an automatic in-line file conversion. If a file to retrieve ends in .Ar suffix , and a real file (sans .Ar suffix ) exists, then the output of .Ar command is returned instead of the contents of the file. .Pp .Bl -tag -width "disable" -offset indent .It Ar suffix The suffix to initiate the conversion. .It Ar type A list of valid filetypes for the conversion. Valid types are: .Sq f (file), and .Sq d (directory). .It Ar disable The name of file that will prevent conversion if it exists. A filename of .Dq Pa \&. will prevent this disabling action (i.e., the conversion is always permitted.) .It Ar command The command to run for the conversion. The first word should be the full path name of the command, as .Xr execv 3 is used to execute the command. All instances of the word .Dq %s in .Ar command are replaced with the requested file (sans .Ar suffix ) . .El .Pp Conversion directives specified later in the file override earlier conversions with the same suffix. .It Sy display Ar class Op Ar file If .Ar file is not given or .Ar class is .Dq none , disable this. Otherwise, each time the user enters a new directory, check if .Ar file exists, and if so, display its contents to the user. Escape sequences are supported; refer to .Sx Display file escape sequences in .Xr ftpd 8 for more information. .It Xo Sy limit Ar class .Ar count Op Ar file .Xc Limit the maximum number of concurrent connections for .Ar class to .Ar count , with .Sq 0 meaning unlimited connections. If the limit is exceeded and .Ar file is given, display its contents to the user. Ignored if .Ar class is .Dq none or .Ar count is not specified. .It Sy homedir Ar class Op Sy pathformat If .Ar pathformat is not given or .Ar class is .Dq none , use the default behaviour (see below). Otherwise, .Ar pathformat is parsed to create a directory to change into upon login, and to use as the .Sq home directory of the user for tilde expansion in pathnames, etc. .Ar pathformat is parsed as per the .Sy chroot directive. .Pp The default home directory is the home directory of the user for .Sy REAL users, and .Pa / for .Sy GUEST and .Sy CHROOT users. .It Sy maxtimeout Ar class Ar time Set the maximum timeout period that a client may request, defaulting to two hours. This cannot be less than 30 seconds, or the value for .Sy timeout . Ignored if .Ar class is .Dq none or .Ar time is not specified. .It Sy modify Ar class Op Sy off If .Ar class is .Dq none or .Sy off is given, disable the following commands: CHMOD, DELE, MKD, RMD, RNFR, and UMASK. Otherwise, enable them. .It Sy motd Ar class Op Ar file If .Ar file is not given or .Ar class is .Dq none , disable this. Otherwise, use .Ar file as the message of the day file to display after login. Escape sequences are supported; refer to .Sx Display file escape sequences in .Xr ftpd 8 for more information. .It Sy notify Ar class Op Ar fileglob If .Ar fileglob is not given or .Ar class is .Dq none , disable this. Otherwise, each time the user enters a new directory, notify the user of any files matching .Ar fileglob . .It Sy passive Ar class Op Sy off If .Ar class is .Dq none or .Sy off is given, disallow passive (PASV/LPSV/EPSV) connections. Otherwise, enable them. .It Sy portrange Ar class Ar min Ar max Set the range of port number which will be used for the passive data port. .Ar max must be greater than .Ar min , and both numbers must be be between .Dv IPPORT_RESERVED (1024) and 65535. .It Sy rateget Ar class Ar rate Set the maximum get (RETR) transfer rate throttle for .Ar class to .Ar rate bytes per second. If .Ar rate is 0, the throttle is disabled. .Pp An optional suffix may be provided, which changes the intrepretation of .Ar rate as follows: .Bl -tag -width 3n -offset indent -compact .It b Causes no modification. (Optional) .It k Kilo; multiply the argument by 1024 .It m Mega; multiply the argument by 1048576 .It g Giga; multiply the argument by 1073741824 .El .It Sy rateput Ar class Ar rate Set the maximum put (STOR) transfer rate throttle for .Ar class to .Ar rate bytes per second, which is parsed as per .Sy rateget Ar rate . .It Sy template Ar class Op Ar refclass Define .Ar refclass as the .Sq template for .Ar class ; any reference to .Ar refclass in following directives will also apply to members of .Ar class . This is useful to define a template class so that other classes which are to share common attributes can be easily defined without unnecessary duplication. There can be only one template defined at a time. If .Ar refclass is not given, disable the template for .Ar class . .It Sy timeout Ar class Ar time Set the inactivity timeout period. (the default is fifteen minutes). This cannot be less than 30 seconds, or greater than the value for .Sy maxtimeout . Ignored if .Ar class is .Dq none or .Ar time is not specified. .It Sy umask Ar class Ar umaskval Set the umask to .Ar umaskval . Ignored if .Ar class is .Dq none or .Ar umaskval is not specified. .It Sy upload Ar class Op Sy off If .Ar class is .Dq none or .Sy off is given, disable the following commands: APPE, STOR, and STOU, as well as the modify commands: CHMOD, DELE, MKD, RMD, RNFR, and UMASK. Otherwise, enable them. .El .Sh DEFAULTS The following defaults are used: .Pp .Bd -literal -offset indent -compact checkportcmd all classtype chroot CHROOT classtype guest GUEST classtype real REAL display none limit all -1 # unlimited connections maxtimeout all 7200 # 2 hours modify all motd all motd notify none passive all timeout all 900 # 15 minutes umask all 027 upload all modify guest off umask guest 0707 .Ed .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width /usr/share/examples/ftpd/ftpd.conf -compact .It Pa /etc/ftpd.conf This file. .It Pa /usr/share/examples/ftpd/ftpd.conf A sample .Nm file. .El .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr ftpchroot 5 , .Xr ftpusers 5 , .Xr ftpd 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm functionality was implemented in .Nx 1.3 and later releases by Luke Mewburn, based on work by Simon Burge.
