- Introduction and Features
-
- This FTPD server allows Internet access to Novell network.
- It is written according to RFC959 specification.
-
-
- Features: - Up to 32 concurrent connections
- - Anonymous connection
- - Transactions logins
- - Access restrictions
- - Access to other Novell servers, including servers running
- versions lower than 3.11.
- - On-line info when logging and changing directories
- - MAC name space and MACBINARY transfer supported
- - LAN Workplace compatibility
-
- If you have more than one Novell server in your network, it is possible run
- FTP on only one of them. FTPD allows to login to another server by entering
- the Netware server name together with the user name ("server123/user").
-
- System requirements
- FTPD NLM requires Novell Netware Server v3.11. Modules CLIB.NLM, TCPIP.NLM
- and RESOLV.NLM must be loaded. (RESOLV.NLM is avaliable at "novell.felk.cvut.cs"
- in directory "/pub/nw311/resolv"). RESOLV.NLM does the name translation, but
- if you have no name server you must run RESOLV.NLM anyway, with no parameters.
-
-
- Loading of the FTPD server:
-
- load [path]FTPD {use [file]} {connections [number]}
-
-
- use [file]
- Specifies configuration file name.
- Default: sys:system/ftpd.cfg
-
- load ftpd use sys:system/ftpd/config.ftp
-
-
- connections [number]
- Determines maximum number of concurrent connections.
- Default: 5
- Maximum: 32
-
- load ftpd connections 20
-
-
- FTPD Command line:
- ftpd enable disable use {file}.
-
- ftpd enable
- Enables creating of new connections.
-
- ftpd disable
- Disables creating of new connections. This has no effect on
- connections already active.
-
-
- ftp use {file}
- Re-reads the configuration file. The command "Connections" (see below)
- is ignored, e.g. the number of connections cannot be changed after
- loading FTPD server.
-
- ftp show
- Display active clients.
-
-
- Configuration file
-
- All empty lines and characters right to the '#' are ignored.
-
- Command
- Connections [number]
-
- Determines maximum number of concurrent connections. This command is
- ignored during reconfiguration by command "ftp reconfig". The command
- line parameter takes precedence if it is given.
-
- Connections 20
-
-
- Command
- BannerFile [filename]
-
- It determines the file to display before the user has logged in. This
- file must be on the server running FTPD.NLM and must be defined with
- full path name ("volume:directory/directory/file"). It is read with
- supervisor's rights.
-
- BannerFile sys:system/banner.ftp
-
-
- Command
- MaxAnonymous [number]
-
- Determines maximum allowed anonymous connections. This value should be
- in range 1 to "Connections". If you don't want anonymous access,
- don't create anonymous account.
-
- MaxAnonymous 15
-
- Command
- Community [name]
-
- This command provides access control. Every new connection is
- assigned a community according to its host IP address. There are
- two predefined communities: "default" and "anonymous". The "default"
- community is assigned to a connection not matching any other
- community, the "anonymous" community is assigned to all connections
- of the "anonymous" users. The number of communities is limited to 20.
-
- Subcommands of the Community command
- Subcommand Address [ip address]
-
- Determines IP address of connections belonging to this
- community. This command must not be used with pre-defined "default"
- and "anonymous" communities and, on the other hand, must be
- used with all other communities. Up to 20 address per community allowed.
-
- Address 147.32.14.1
- Address 147.32.*
- Address 147.*.14.*
- Address *.felk.cvut.cs
- Address *.felk.*
-
-
- Subcommand Allow [{server_name/}user_login_name]
- Subcommand Deny [{server_name/}user_login_name]
-
- Determines access restrictions for the community. Maximum
- number of Allow and Deny subcommands in one community is 20.
- User name entered at connect time is matched against listed
- templates in ascending order. When the match is found the access
- is allowed or denied according to the command. If no match is
- found the access is denied. If no "Allow" or "Deny" command was
- used the access is allowed.
-
- Allow servername/user1
- Deny */*
- Allow server*/any
- Deny ser*abc/def*ght*
-
-
- Subcommand ConnectTime [min]

-
- Subcommand IdleTime [min]
-
- Determines maximum time in minutes when the connection is idle.
- The connection is terminated after being idle too long.
-
- IdelTime 3
-
- Subcommand ReadOnly
- This restricts access to read only.
-
-
- Subcommand LogFile [file]
- This determines location of the log file. The file must be on
- the server where FTPD is running. The user needs no rights for the
- file. If a directory is specified it must exist. The file length is
- not limited.
-
- Deafult: for "default" community sys:system\default.log
- pro "anonymous" community sys:system\anonym.log
-
- LogFile sys:logs\ftp.log
-
-

-
-
- Subcommand CommentsFile [filename]
- Determines the file to display after the completion of "CWD"
- command. This file must be in the new current directory set by CWD
- and the user must have rights for reading. There must be no
- path given, only the filename.
-
- Default: none
-
- CommentsFile README.TXT
-
- Subcommand LogoFile [file]

- and the user must have rights for reading. Full NetWare
- pathname must be specified, but no server name.
-
- Default: none
-
- LogoFile sys:public/logofile.txt
-
-
- Subcommand ShortLS
- This subcommand determines whether directory entries are visible
- or invisible in ls (NLST) command. User may control this option via
- SITE LONGLS (or QUOTE SITE LONGLS) and SITE SHORTLS
- (or QUOTE SITE SHORTLS) site specific commands.
-
- Default: Directory entries are visible in ls command.
-
- ShortLS
-
- Subcommand HomeDir [directory]
- Overrides standard home directory determination processing and
- sets given home directory for the community.
-
- Default: standard processing(see below).
-
- HomeDir users:anydir/thisdir
-
-
- Subcommand MacNameSpace
- Determines default name space for this community.
-
- Default: DOS name space
-
- MacNameSpace
-
-
- Non-standard FTP commands
-
- The FTP Server implemets this site specific commands.
- SITE LONGLS
- This command causes directory entries to be visible in ls (NLST)
- command.
-
- SITE SHORTLS
- This command causes directory entries to be invisible in ls (NLST)
- command.
- Motivation: Directory entries may cause problems with MGET command.
-
- SITE MAC
- Set the name space to Macintosh.
-
- SITE DOS
- Set the name space to DOS.
-
- MACB E and MACB D
- This command switch between BINARY and MACBINARY transfer mode.
- This has meaning only if Mac name space is selected.
-
-
- Macros used in CommentFile and LogoFile files.
- All character sequences $[character] are macros. Macros are case sensitive
- and unknown macros are ignored.
- Macro Expansion
-
- $f Novell name of server running FTPD
-
- $s Internet name of server running FTPD
-
- $u Novell user name, or user name from ID for anonymous.
-
- $h IP full host name or IP address when host name cannot be
- resolved.
-
- $a Anonymous ID for anonymous users, empty string otherwise.
-
- $t Local time in form "Mon Oct 20 11:32:54 1992".
- (without quotes)
-
- $n Number of logged FTP clients.
-
- $w "Warning, I cannot map your network address to hostname."
- if user address cannot be mapped to hostname,
- empty string otherwise.
-
- $m Empty string for non-anonymous users.
- For anonymous user:
- if address cannot be mapped to hostname
- "Warning, I cannot map your network address to hostname."
- if anonymous id not valid e-mail address expand to
- "Please, next time use name@hostname as an anonymous id."
- Hostname is substituted with user hostname.
- Valid anonymous id is name@ or name@hostname.domain
-
-
- Hints:
-
- - When the user enters the '-' character as the first character of the
- password, no files specified by LogoFile and CommentsFile commands are
- displayed. This character is excluded from the password. Use this
- if your FTP client prints garbage or hangs.
-
-
- - Determining the user home directory:
- 1) If there is the subcommand HomeDir specified for a community,
- user home directory is set to this directory.
-
- 2) If the user has set the property HOME_DIR (by jrb utilites), current
- directory is set to the HOME_DIR directory.
-
- 2) The server searches the trustee list for the user. If it finds
- a directory where the user has explicitly stated rights and the name
- of the directory matches the name of the user (only 8 characters are
- tested), it sets this directory as home directory.
-
-
- - The "cd ~" command changes current directory to user's home directory.
-
- - "Standard" Novell access restriction.
- All standard Novell access restrictions apply for FTP access,
- with this exception:
- Station restriction (network, node address) is ignored when user
- is logged on master server (server running FTPD). On remote servers,
- station restriction is accepted. (Sorry for this, but it is bug in
- Novell's CLIB [or feature :-) ]).
-
- - FTPD users are logged from internal IPX network of master server (server
- running FTPD), node 1. This can be used for additional access restriction on
- remote servers.
-
- - If you want to login to remote 386 server, it must have set the option
- "SET Reply To Get Nearest Server=ON". (Novell CLIB bug or feature ?)
-
- - Active FTP connection cannot be cleared from MONITOR.
-
- - Anonymous access
- To enable anonymous access you must create account "ANONYMOUS"
- without password (on master server) and set the home directory and
- trustees rights for this user (or use HomeDir subcommand for
- community Anonymous).
-
- If you want to restrict access to this account from local IPX
- network, you can use station restriction to restrict Anonymous to
- master server internal IPX network only.
-
-
- - DOS name space
- FTP daemon accepts two formats of file names.
-
- First (and preferred) is Unix-like:
- /volume/dir/dir/filename.ext for full filename specification
- or
- dir/dir/filename.ext for filename specification
- relative to current directory
-
- Second is Netware style:
- volume:/dir/dir/filename.ext for full filename specification
- volume:dir/dir/filename.ext
-
- or
- dir/dir/filename.ext for filename specification
- relative to current directory
-
-
- - Mac name space
- If you have selected Mac name space, you must enter the filename
- like this (even when referring to DOS only name space volumes):
-
- :volume:folder:folder:filename for full filename specification
- or
- folder:folder:filename for filename specification
- relative to current folder.
-
- If there's no added MAC name space on the target volume, the
- command is processed in DOS name space (colons are processed as
- slashes).
-
- There is no way to enter SITE commands from Mac graphic FTP
- clients. To be able to use Macs, set a community for them with Mac
- name space as default (with subcommand MacNameSpace).
-
- MACBINARY transfer mode is enabled as default (or it shouldn't be ?).
-
- The Mac name space is added after many requests. As I have no
- possibilty to test it with Mac here (we don't have any Macs), this
- should be taken only as the first attempt to make the FTPD
- Mac-compatible. Any help and feedback is very appreciated here.
