Miscellaneous Options

This page provides access to a few of the configuration options that don’t quite fit anywhere else. You are unlikely to need to alter any of these settings from their defaults.

Long listing command, Short listing command, Plain listing

Defines the command to be used for each of the types of file listing that a user may specify. The defaults are usually sane, and should only be modified if necessary. These options correlate to the lslong, lsshort, and lsplain directives.

Shutdown notification file

Here you configure the path to the message that the server will display prior to shutting down. This option correlates to the shutdown directive and usually defaults to /etc/shutmsg.

Service process nice level

This sets the niceness level for the FTP daemon process. This may be set per class of user, or for all classes. This option correlates to the nice directive.

Default umask for uploaded files

This option defines the umask that is applied to uploaded files by users of the given class. This option correlates to the defumask directive.
