- TITLE :How to Use Directory Annotation with FTP Server in NT
- PRODUCT :Windows NT
- PROD/VER:3.10
- OPER/SYS:WINDOWS
- KEYWORDS:
-
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
- The information in this article applies to:
-
- - Microsoft Windows NT operating system version 3.1
- - Microsoft Windows NT Advanced Server version 3.1
- ----------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- 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.
-
- You can add directory descriptions to inform File Transfer Protocol
- (FTP) users of the contents of a particular directory on the server. A
- file called ~FTPSVC~.CKM can be created in the directory to be
- annotated with the information to be displayed to the user. Usually,
- you want to make this file hidden, so that directory listings do not
- display this file. To do this, enter the following command from the
- Command Prompt:
-
- attrib +h ~ftpsvc~.ckm
-
- Directory annotation can be toggled by FTP users on a user-by-user
- basis with a built-in, site-specific command called CKM. On most FTP
- client implementations (including the Windows NT FTP client), users
- enter a command similar to
-
- quote site ckm
-
- to get this effect.
-
- The administrator can control the default behavior of this feature for
- newly connected users by setting a value for AnnotateDirectories in
- the Registry using the Registry Editor.
-
- To turn on annotation by default, edit the Registry (REGEDT32.EXE) and
- set the value of AnnotateDirectories to 1. A value of 0 indicates that
- directory annotation is off by default. The path to this entry is as
- follows:
-
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FtpSvc
- \Parameters
