Configuring the FTP Connection Banner for a User

Configuring the FTP Connection Banner

The default FTP login banner is configured for the Site. You can then specify this default banner for Settings Templates and users, replace or add to the default message, or not display a message at all, for all users assigned to a Settings Template or for individual users.

What is the difference between a connection banner and a login message?

EFT Server displays a connection banner immediately after a client connects via FTP, before requesting the login credentials.
After the client provides the login credentials and the credentials are authenticated, EFT Server displays a login banner.
The default login banner is “Login OK, proceed.”
In the Settings Template, you can specify the following alternatives: use default (“Login OK, proceed.”) banner, append something to default (“Login OK, proceed.”) banner, use its own banner, and show no banner at all.
In the user account, you can specify the following alternatives: use default (the one formed in the Settings Template) banner, append something to default (the one formed in the Settings Template) banner, use its own banner, and show no banner at all.
