E Parameters for the FTP Server Process in the PORTCONF

File

You must start the LISTNER process on the system on which the FTP Server runs. The LISTNER process
scans the entries in the port configuration (PORTCONF) file and invokes the FTP Server upon
receiving a request from the FTP client. For a description of the PORTCONF file, see the TCP/IP
Configuration and Management Manual.
In the PORTCONF file, you can specify any or all of the following optional parameters after the
specification of port-number:

port-number FTP-server [ / run-options /]

[ AUTH 0|1 ]

[ GUARDIAN 0|1 ]

[ IPSIZE max-size]

[ LOTS 0|1 ]

[ TIMER timer-value ]

[ STIMER timer-value ]

[ UEXT x,y,z ]

[ USERS filename ]

port number

specifies the well-known port number for the FTP Server

FTP-server

is the name of the FTP server.

[ / run-options / ]

are the optional parameters of the TACL RUN command. The only run option supported with
FTP is HIGHPIN ON/OFF. For a full description of this run option, see the TACL Reference
Manual
.

NOTE:

If you specify this run option, you must do so before you specify the optional parameters

described in this appendix. If you interchange the order of these specifications, the FTP Server
will not be invoked.

AUTH 0|1

turns off the user authentication performed by the FTP Server prior to the execution of every
command. User authentication is the default behavior. Setting the value of AUTH to 0 disables
user authentication. Setting the value to 1 or any numeric value other than 0 results in the
default behavior.
Leaving out the AUTH specification from the PORTCONF file results in the FTP Server’s retaining
the default behavior.

NOTE:

No matter what the AUTH setting is, the FTP Server always authenticates the user

when the user logs on.

GUARDIAN 0|1

selects Guardian as the default FTP Server personality for users who do not log on with aliases
(that is, users who log on with user names). Setting the value of GUARDIAN to 1 allows such
users to log on with a Guardian personality. Setting GUARDIAN to 0 disables the Guardian
personality for such users.
