FTPADDHOST(1M)FTPADDHOST(1M)NAMEftpaddhost - set up a virtual FTP host
SYNOPSISftpaddhost-c | -l [-b] [-x xferlog] hostname root_dir
DESCRIPTION
The ftpaddhost script is executed by the super user to set up virtual
FTP hosts. The ftpaddhost command configures the virtual host hostname
under directory root_dir. The value of hostname can be an IP address or
the name of a host.
OPTIONS
The ftpaddhost script supports the following options:
-b
Create a banner for the virtual host. This option is use‐
ful to confirm that the virtual host is working.
-c
Configure complete virtual hosting. This option allows
each virtual host to have its own version of the ftpac‐
cess, ftpconversions, ftpgroups, ftphosts, and ftpusers
files. The master version of each of these configuration
files is copied from the /etc/ftpd directory and placed
in the /etc/ftpd/virtual-ftpd/hostname directory. If the
/etc/ftpusers file exists it is appended to the virtual
ftpusers file. If a virtual host lacks its own version of
a configuration file, the master version is used.
-l
Configure limited virtual hosting. This option allows a
small number of parameters to be configured differently
for a virtual host. See the virtual keyword on the
ftpaccess(4) manual page.
-x xferlog
Create a logfile entry such that the transfer logs for
the virtual host are written to the specified file. An
absolute path must be specified for the xferlog file.
OPERANDS
The following operands are supported:
hostname
The host name or IP address of the virtual server.
root_dir
The absolute pathname of the directory under which the vir‐
tual server is set up.
EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned:
0
Successful completion
1
Improper usage of the command
2

FILES
