How to change ProFTPd welcome message with ServerIdent Change proftpd default welcome message, change proftp signature
Change ProFTPD deafault welcome message
Afater installing proftpd and you ftp to the server, the server displays a standard welcome message.
$ ftp localhost Connected to localhost. 220 ProFTPD 1.2.8 Server (localhost) [127.0.0.1] Name (localhost:user):
The line 220 ProFTPD 1.2.8 Server will be displayed to anyone who does an ftp connection to your server.
In case you don't want everyone to see what FTP server software and specially what version of the ftp server are you running, you can customize all these with ServerName and ServerIdent ProFTPD directives.
ServerIdent - Set the message displayed on connect ServerIdent [ ServerIdent off|on [identification string]] Default: ServerIdent on "ProFTPD [version] Server (server name) [hostname]"The ServerIdent directive sets the default message displayed when a new client connects. Setting this to off displays "[hostname] FTP server ready." If set to on, the directive can take an optional string argument, which will be displayed instead of the default text. Sites desiring to give out minimal information will probably want a setting like ServerIdent on "FTP Server ready.", which won't even reveal the hostname.
Examples: ServerIdent on "Welcome to FTP Server"
ServerName -- Configure the name displayed to connecting users ServerName [ ServerName "name"]
Default: ServerName "ProFTPD Server [version]" The ServerName directive configures the string that will be displayed to a user connecting to the server (or virtual server if the directive is located in a block). See Also:
Next go to your proftpd.conf file (/usr/local/etc/proftpd.conf on FreeBSD or /etc/proftpd.conf on Linux) and modify ServerName and ServerIdent lines (or add them if they don't exist) to whatever you wish and test it.
$ ftp localhost Connected to localhost. My FTP Server Name (localhost:user):

Besides Zen, the forex market also holds nuggets of Indian philosophy ... This method can be likened to the Gyan Marg as it deals with cause and effect.
