FTP(5) File Formats and Configurations FTP(5)

NAME

ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

/etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines
that begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines
and are ignored.

Behavior Directives

The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no
The ls command of the ftp client sends
an NLST to the FTP Server by default.
Several non-Solaris clients send LIST
instead. In order to make the Solaris
ftp client send LIST when the ls
command is issued, set
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.


If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's
environment, this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive
that is specified in /etc/default/ftp.
