ftpaddhost(1M) System Administration Commands ftpaddhost(1M)NAMEftpaddhost - set up a virtual FTP host
SYNOPSISftpaddhost-c | -l [-b] [-x xferlog] hostname root_dir
DESCRIPTION
The ftpaddhost script is executed by the super user to set up virtual
FTP hosts. The ftpaddhost command configures the virtual host hostname
under directory root_dir. The value of hostname can be an IP address or
the name of a host.
OPTIONS
The ftpaddhost script supports the following options:
-b Create a banner for the virtual host. This
option is useful to confirm that the virtual
host is working.
-c Configure complete virtual hosting. This option
allows each virtual host to have its own ver‐
sion of the ftpaccess, ftpconversions, ftp‐
groups, ftphosts, and ftpusers files. The mas‐
ter version of each of these configuration
files is copied from the /etc/ftpd directory
and placed in the /etc/ftpd/virtual-ftpd/host‐
name directory. If the /etc/ftpusers file
exists it is appended to the virtual ftpusers
file. If a virtual host lacks its own version
of a configuration file, the master version is
used.
-l Configure limited virtual hosting. This option
allows a small number of parameters to be con‐
figured differently for a virtual host. See
the virtual keyword on the ftpaccess(4) manual
page.
-x xferlog Create a logfile entry such that the transfer
logs for the virtual host are written to the
specified file. An absolute path must be speci‐
fied for the xferlog file.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
hostname The host name or IP address of the virtual server.
root_dir The absolute pathname of the directory under which the
virtual server is set up.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0 Successful completion
1 Improper usage of the command
2 Command failed
FILES
/etc/ftpd/virtual-ftpd/hostname The configuration files direc‐
tory for the virtual host host‐
name.
