- WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
- serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
- reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
- guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
- Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
- risk.
-
- If the maximum number of concurrent connections on the FTP server is
- reached, any new connection attempts made by other machines will
- result in the following error message:
-
- Maximum clients reached, service unavailable.
-
- This message can be customized by using the Registry Editor and adding
- an entry called MaxClientsMessage.
-
- To customize the message, do the following:
-
- 1. Open the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
-
- 2. Use the following path:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FtpSvc
- \Parameters
-
- 3. From the Edit menu, choose Add Value to create the following entry:
-
- MaxClientsMessage
-
- 4. Set the Data Type to REG_SZ.
-
- 5. Enter the desired message.
-
- When making any configuration changes to the FTP Server (with the
- exception of security configuration), you must restart the FTP Server
- by either restarting the computer or manually stopping and restarting
- the server. To do this manually, use the Services option in Control
- Panel, or at a command prompt, use the following two commands:
-
- net stop ftpsvc
-
- net start ftpsvc
-
- Restarting the service manually disconnects any users presently
- connected to the FTP Server without warning, be sure to use the FTP
- Server icon in Control Panel to determine if any users are connected.
