Specifying the Value Returned by the FTP SYST Command

A SYST request asks for information about the server's operating system. The server accepts this request with code 215. EFT, and most servers, respond with 215 UNIX Type: L8:

Some clients disable essential features when they do not see particular strings in the SYST response. If your server requires a particular response, EFT provides a registry setting with which you can specify the value returned by the FTP SYST command.

64 bit:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Globalscape Inc.\EFT 4.0\FTPSYSTResponse

32 bit:HKLM\SOFTWARE\Globalscape Inc.\EFT 4.0\FTPSYSTResponse

Value data:Windows_NT

The string value provided in the registry will be truncated to 128 characters, if necessary.

After adding the registry key above, the response is 215 Windows_NT:
