ProFTPD module mod_readme
ProFTPD module mod_readme
This module is contained in the mod_readme.c file for
ProFTPD 1.3.x, and is not compiled by default. Installation
instructions are discussed here.
The most current version of mod_readme is distributed with the
ProFTPD source code.
Directives
Syntax: DisplayReadme path|pattern
Default: None
Context: server config, <VirtualHost>, <Global>, <Anonymous>
Module: mod_readme
Compatibility: 1.2.0pre8 and later
The DisplayReadme directive configures the server to notify
the client of the last modified date of the specified path or
pattern. These notifications happen whenever a client logs in,
or whenever the client changes directory.
For example:
DisplayReadme README
will result in the following being displayed to connecting client, assuming
there is a file called "README" in the current directory:
Please read the file README
it was last modified on Sun Oct 17 10:36:14 2011 - 0 days ago
As another example, assume there are two files named "README" and
"README.first" in the directory into which the client changed. Then using
DisplayReadme README*
might result in the following being sent to the client:
Please read the file README
it was last modified on Tue Jan 25 04:47:48 2011 - 0 days ago
Please read the file README.first
it was last modified on Tue Jan 25 04:48:04 2011 - 0 days ago
To install mod_readme, follow the usual steps for using
third-party modules in ProFTPD:
$ ./configure --with-modules=mod_readme ...
To build mod_readme as a DSO module:
# ./configure --enable-dso --with-shared=mod_readme
Then follow the usual steps:
$ make
$ make install
Alternatively, if your proftpd was compiled with DSO support,
you can use the prxs tool to build mod_readme as
a shared module:
$ prxs -c -i -d mod_readme.c
