Use the ANONYMOUSHFSINFO statement to specify a file containing information messages specific to each FTP server directory during an FTP login session.
Restriction: This statement affects only FTP clients logged in as anonymous users.
Parameters
- file-mask
- The file-mask is an z/OS® UNIX file mask used to find a z/OS UNIX information
file for anonymous users. The file mask can contain wildcards or it
can be a full file name (for example, readme*). When a user changes
directories, a search is made with the specified mask. The contents
of the first file found is returned to the FTP client and is displayed
to the end user. If no file matches the specified mask, no information
is displayed to the end user. If multiple files satisfy a generic
file-mask, the first is chosen.
Restriction: The generic file name only works when an asterisk (*) is at the end of a character string.
Examples
Use the following example to display
the contents of the first file matching readme* in any z/OS UNIX directory
to which an anonymous user changes. If the directory has no files
matching readme*, no messages are displayed.
ANONYMOUSHFSINFO readme*
; Anonymous HFS info file-mask
; login Usage notes
- If an anonymous user changes to a directory containing no files matching the file-mask, no information is displayed to the anonymous user.
