\chapter{FTP server}\label{cha:ftpd} The \ex{ftpd} structure contains a complete anonymous ftp server. \defun{ftpd}{options}{\noreturn} \defunx{ftp-inetd}{options}{\noreturn} \begin{desc} \ex{Ftpd} starts the server, using \var{anonymous-home} as the root directory of the server. \ex{ftpd-inetd} is the version to be used from \ex{inetd}. \ex{Ftpd-inetd} handles the connection through the current standard output and input ports. \end{desc} % The \var{options} argument can be constructed through a number of procedures with names of the form \texttt{with-\ldots}. Each of these procedures either creates a fresh options value or adds a configuration parameter to an old options argument. The configuration parameter value is always the first argument, the (old) options value the optional second one. Here they are: \defun{with-port}{port [options]}{options} \begin{desc} This specifies the port on which the server listens. Defaults to 21. \end{desc} \defun{with-anonymous-home}{string [options]}{options} \begin{desc} This specifies the home directory for anonymous logins. Defaults to \verb|"~ftp"|. \end{desc} \defun{with-banner}{list [options]}{options} \begin{desc} This specifies an alternative greeting banner for those members of the Untergrund who prefer to remain covert. The banner is represented as a list of strings, one for each line of output. \end{desc} \defun{with-logfile}{file-name [options]}{options} \begin{desc} If this is non-\sharpf, ex{ftpd} makes a log entry for each file sent or retrieved in \var{file-name}. Defaults to \sharpf. \end{desc} \defun{with-dns-lookup?}{boolean [options]}{options} \begin{desc} If \var{dns-lookup?} is \sharpt, the log file will contain the host names instead of their IP addresses. If \var{dns-lookup?} is \sharpf, the log will only contain IP addresses. Defaults to \sharpf. \end{desc} The log format of \ex{ftpd} is the same as the one of \ex{wuftpd}. The entries look like this: % \begin{verbatim} Fri Apr 19 17:08:14 2002 4 134.2.2.171 56881 /files.lst b _ i a nop@ssword ftp 0 * \end{verbatim} % These are the fields: \begin{enumerate} \item Current date and time. This field contains spaces and is 24 characters long. \item Transfer time in seconds. \item Remote host IP (wu-ftpd puts the name here). \item File size in bytes \item Name of file (spaces are converted to underscores) \item Transfer type: \underline{a}scii or \underline{b}inary (image type). \item Special action flags. As \ex{ftpd} does not support any special action, it always has \ex{\_} here. \item File was sent to user (\underline{o}utgoing) or received from user (\underline{i}ncoming) \item \underline{A}nonymous access \item Anonymous ftp password. \item Service name---always \ex{ftp}. \item Authentication mode (always ``none'' = `\ex{0}'). \item Authenticated user ID (always ``not available'' = `\ex{*}') \end{enumerate} The server also writes log information to the syslog facility. The following syslog levels occur in the output: \begin{description} \item[\ex{notice}] \begin{itemize} \item messages concerning \emph{connections} (establishing connection, connection refused, closing connection due to timeout, etc.) \item the execution of the \ex{STOR} command\\ Its success (\ie somebody is putting something on your server via ftp, also known as \ex{PUT}) is also logged at \ex{notice}. \item internal errors \item Unix errors \item reaching of actually unreachable case branches \end{itemize} \item[\ex{info}] Messages concerning all other commands, including the \ex{RETR} command. \item[\ex{debug}] all other messages, including debug messages \end{description} %%% Local Variables: %%% mode: latex %%% TeX-master: "man" %%% End:
