Description

The DisplayFirstChdir directive configures an ASCII text filename which will be displayed to the user everytime he changes into a directory. If you would like to have the old behaviour of DisplayFirstChdir back you've to use the option "true". Then the file will only be displayed on the first time the user changes into the directory or if proftpd detects that its last modification time has changed since the previous CWD into a given directory. If the filename is relative, it is looked for in the new directory that the user has changed into. Note that for anonymous ftp logins (see <Anonymous>), the file must reside inside the chroot()ed file system space. If the file cannot be found or accessed, no error occurs and nothing is logged or displayed to the client.

DisplayChdir, DisplayConnect, DisplayLogin and DisplayQuit support the following "magic cookies" (only in 0.99.0pl10 and later), which are replaced with their respective strings before being displayed to the user.

%C	Current working directory

%E	Server admin's e-mail address

%F	Available space on file system, in bytes

%f      Available space on file system, with units

%i      The number of files uploaded (input) in this session

%K	Total number of bytes transferred

%k	Total number of bytes transferred, in units

%L	Local host name

%M	Max number of authenticated clients

%N	Current number of authenticated clients

%o      The number of files downloaded (output) in this session

%R	Remote host name

%T	Current Time

%t      The number of files transfered (uploaded and downloaded) in this session

%U	Username originally used in login

%u	Username reported by ident protocol

%V	Name of virtual host (if any)

%x	The name of the user's class

%y	Current number of connections from the user's class

%z	Max number of connections from the user's class

%{total_bytes_in} The number of bytes uploaded (input) in this session

%{total_bytes_out} The number of bytes downloaded (output) in this session

%{total_bytes_xfer} The number of bytes transferred (uploaded and downloaded) in this session

%(total_files_in} The number of files uploaded (input) in this session

%(total_files_out} The number of files downloaded (output) in this session

%(total_files_xfer} The number of files transferred (uploaded and downloaded) in this session

NOTE: not all of these may have a rational value, depending on the context in which they're used (e.g., %u if ident lookups are off).
