Hi Himacs,

>>>please tell me the exact steps to follow to enable ftp banner <<<

you need to add banner entry in /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file like below.

banner

There is another option you can use, which is message like below.

message login

ftpd will display the contents of the message file to the user at login time. Banner works similarly to the message command, except that the banner is displayed before the user enters the username and password.

>>>and also tell me ftpaccess path<<<<

/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess

Hi Himacs,

>>>but when i give ftp 10.10.10.89

Yep. it is expected behaviour.

What do you expect at this point?

[himacs]

but i heard that the banner will display before asking username..

As this is live server i cant troubleshoot more

#one more thing.. is there any command to reread ssh process.I dont want to restart since its production server

[Ganesan R]

Hi Himacs,

Yes. banner will displayed before the username like this..

#ftp server
Connected to server
<<>
Name:
Passwd:
<>
ftp>

Also note that change in ftpaccess file doesn't require to re-read the inetd daemon.

And also ftp service does not have any relation with ssh.
