Hi, I just tried that out and it worked form me on FtpServer-1.1.0. This is
what I did:
0. Downloaded the latest FtpServer zip file and extracted it.
1. Created a new folder called \res\messages
2. Added a new file called FtpStatus.gen
3. Added my custom message for login like so:
220=JESTER ready for connection. WARNING! All activity on this site is
monitored and tracked. Authorised personnel only.
4. Edited the res\conf\ftpd-typical.xml file to add the following element under
the <server> tag:
<messages directory="./res/messages" />
5. Started ftpserver under a cmd shell, passing in the config file to use:
Bin\ftpd.bat \res\conf\ftpd-typical.xml
6. Connected to it using ftp client built into Windows 7 via the command prompt
on port 2121
Observed that the 220 greeting showed my new message.
In production, I actually set the custome messages using a message factory when
I am setting up the ftp server instance.
------------------------------ cut --------------------
FtpServerFactory factory = new FtpServerFactory();
//Customised server messages (optional)
String customMessageFile =
config.getPropertyAsString("server.customMessages");
if ( customMessageFile != null) {
LOG.debug("Custom message resource specified: " +
customMessageFile);
File f = new File(customMessageFile);
if (f.exists()) {
LOG.debug("Message file exists, configuring.");
MessageResourceFactory messageFactory = new
MessageResourceFactory();
messageFactory.setCustomMessageDirectory(f);
factory.setMessageResource(messageFactory.createMessageResource());
} else {
LOG.error("Custom message bundle
\""+customMessageFile + "\" specified, but does not exist. Not loaded.");
}
}
-------------------------------- cut -----------------------
Best Regards,
Gary.
