Shalom,

Take a look at the ftpaccess file. You can uncomment an option and then put content in the file it refers to.

Secure Shell openssh also has such an option.

Hello,

First checkout for the file ftpaccess in your ftp directory.

If it is there, check whether following line is there.

/etc/ftpd/ftpaccess file:

banner /etc/ftpd/banner.msg

Then create the /etc/ftpd/banner.msg file, add the banner you want.

HTH,

Hi Amit,
1> /etc/ftpd/ftpaccess --> configuration file is the primary configuration file for defining how the ftpd daemon operates. It is not necessary to enable the ftpacess file inorder to run ftpd. The configuration files allow you to configure FTP features, such as the number of FTP login tries permitted, FTP banner displays, logging of incoming and outgoing file transfers, access permissions, use of regular expressions, etc
2> banner /etc/ftpd/banner.msg
create the /etc/ftpd/banner.msg file then add banner.

Thanks & REgards
