Use the LOGINMSG statement to specify the file containing messages to be displayed to FTP users when they have successfully logged in. This statement affects only named FTP clients as opposed to FTP clients logged in as anonymous.
Parameters
- file-path
- The fully qualified z/OS® UNIX pathname or the fully qualified MVS™ data set name of the file whose
contents are displayed whenever a user logs in to FTP. Requirements:
- A z/OS UNIX pathname must start with a slash (/).
- An MVS data set must not start with a slash character.
Examples
Use
the following statement if the FTP login message is kept in the file
/etc/ftp.login:
LOGINMSG /etc/ftp.login
; Welcome message for FTP users Usage notes
- LOGINMSG does not apply to anonymous user logins. To provide this function to anonymous users, use the ANONYMOUSLOGINMSG statement.
- When a known FTP user successfully logs in, the FTP server searches for the file specified by file-path. The contents of the file are returned to the FTP user as 230-prefixed replies. If the file specified by file-path does not exist, no messages are returned to the FTP client and no login messages are displayed to the end user.
