Editing FTP messages

    When an FTP client logs on, the user can see up to three messages:
    FTP Connect Message: Displayed when the client computer connects to the server for FTP service.
    FTP Login Message: Displayed when registered users log on to the server for FTP service.
    FTP Anonymous Login Message: Displayed when guest users log on anonymously.

    To edit the FTP message file:
    1 Open the file using a text-editing application.
    The files are located in the FTP Preferences folder, inside the AppleShare IP Preferences folder (in the Preferences folder in the System Folder).
    2 Make changes to the text, following these guidelines:
    Up to 31 lines of text
    Up to 80 characters per line
    Return character at the end of each line
    IMPORTANT: Do not change the location or name of the file. If you do, the server will display default messages instead of your customized ones.
    3 Save your changes and close the file.
    4 Stop and start the file server.
