Use the HFSINFO statement to specify a file containing welcome messages specific to each FTP server directory visited by an FTP user. In contrast to FTP users that are logged in as anonymous users, this statement affects only known users.
Parameters
- file-mask
- The file-mask is a z/OS® UNIX file mask used to find a z/OS UNIX information
file for known users. The file mask can contain wildcards or it can
be a complete file name. When a user changes directories, a search
is conducted 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 is found matching the specified mask, no information is
displayed to the end user.
Restriction: Wildcards work only when an asterisk (*) is placed after a string of characters.
Examples
Use the following code to direct
the FTP server to search each directory to which a named FTP client
changes, for a file matching the pattern msg*. Each time a named FTP
client changes directory, the FTP server searches the target directory
for files matching the file-mask msg*. The contents of the first matching
file in each directory is returned to the FTP client.
