What parameters to change for Netware FTP Server ?

For webNetwork below 6.3.0.0 The ftp server needs to be put in standard Unix format for output.  You set the pseudo_server_flag=1 to put it in Unix mode.

For webNetwork 6.3.0.178 and higher, set that flag to 0 for the Default Netware format.

Below is a typical config file. You may very well have a newer config file, this should be used as a general guide. 

#FTPSERVER Configuration File 
#Format: A comment line starts with # 
#Each Configuration Parameter is in a single line of form 
#parameter=value. 

#List of Configuration Parameters with their Values: 

#IP address of the host on which FTP Server is being loaded. If parameter 
#not specified, it binds to the local host 
HOST_IP_ADDR=0.0.0.0 

#The public IP address to be exposed in a passive reply to FTP clients. This 
#address need not to be bound to the NetWare server. It usually binds 
#to a NAT device which routes between a private FTP server and a public FTP client. 
#If remarked out or set to 0.0.0.0, FTP server uses the HOST_IP_ADDR. 
#FORCE_PASSIVE_ADDR= 

#Port Number to which FTP Server should bind and listen for connection 
#requests. Port Number Range = 1-65535 
#If not within the specified range, it binds to the default port 21 
#FTP_PORT=21 

#Maximun number of ftp sessions. Default value is 30 
#MAX_FTP_SESSIONS=30 

#Time duration in seconds for which the session can remain idle 
#Default value is 600 
IDLE_SESSION_TIMEOUT=300 

#Specify YES to allow only Secure Connections and NO to allow both 
#Secure and Insecure Connections. Default Value is NO 
#SECURE_CONNECTIONS_ONLY=NO 

#FTP Servers Default NameSpace. Default value is LONG 
#DEFAULT_NAMESPACE=LONG 

#Data buffer size specifies the size in kilobytes for transfer buffer. 
#This parameter value can be set based on availability of system memory. 
#The default value is 64 kilobytes. The range allowed is 4 kilobytes 
#to 1020 kilobytes. 
#DATA_BUFF_SIZE=64 

#Keep Alive timeout (in minutes) closes connections which may be broken on one 
#side. This can be varied depending on the usage of the FTP Service. Typically 
#10 minutes is sufficient, but in cases with frequently broken connections (as 
#is common with dial-up connections), the timeout can be decreased to clear 
#broken connections faster. Some FTP clients may process keep alive packets 
#incorrectly, in which case the timeout can be increased or disabled to allow 
#longer sessions without a keep alive check. The range allowed is 5 minutes to 
#120 minutes. Any value less than 0 min will be taken as 0 (zero) which means 
#no keep alive check will be done. Any value between 1 and 4 min (both 
#inclusive) or greater than 120 min will be taken as 120 min. Default value 
#is 10 
#KEEPALIVE_TIME=10 

#Path of welcome banner file. Default value is sys:/etc/welcome.txt 
#WELCOME_BANNER=sys:/etc/welcome.txt 

#Message File Name. Default value is message.txt 
#MESSAGE_FILE=message.txt 

#Minimum Port Number for Passive Connection. Default value is 1 
#PASSIVE_PORT_MIN=1 

#Maximum Port Number for Passive Connection. Default value is 65534 
#PASSIVE_PORT_MAX=65534 

#Pseudo-Server flag parameter specifies how the Netware FTP server should 
#simulate Unix FTP server behavior. It can take decimal values from 0-3 
#(both inclusive). This value is converted to binary format and each bit 
#is assigned a behavior. The LSB (least significant bit) denotes the 
#format that the permissions should be sent to the FTP client during a 
#directory listing. If it is set to 1, Unix-like format is sent. By 
#default the permissions are sent in NetWare trustee rights format. The 
#previous bit to LSB denotes the reply string that is sent for ’SYST’ 
#command. If it is set to 1, the string will be ’UNIX Type: L8’. By 
#default it is ’NETWARE Type: L8’. Default Value is 0 
PSEUDO_SERVER_FLAG=0 

#File Permissions parameter specifies the Pseudo permissions displayed for 
#files in the FTP client. This does not impact the actual trustee rights 
#available for the files in any way. This parameter is taken into 
#consideration only when the PSEUDO_SERVER_FLAG parameter’s LSB is set to 
#1. (i.e. when it’s decimal value is 1 or 3). Otherwise this is ignored. 
#The value must be a three digit octal value. 
#Maximum value is 777. Default value is 644 
#PSEUDO_FILE_PERMISSIONS=644 

#Directory Permissions parameter specifies the Pseudo permissions displayed 
#for directories in the FTP client. This does not impact the actual trustee 
#rights available for the files in any way. This parameter is taken into 
#consideration only when the PSEUDO_SERVER_FLAG parameter’s LSB is set to 
#1. (i.e. when it’s decimal value is 1 or 3). Otherwise this is ignored. 
#The value must be a three digit octal value. 
#Maximum value is 777. Default value is 755 
#PSEUDO_DIR_PERMISSIONS=755 

#Server where the default home of users is present. If not specified 
#it stays on the local server. Specify the server name only 
DEFAULT_USER_HOME_SERVER=MyServer 

#Default home directory of the user. Default value is sys:/public 
#DEFAULT_USER_HOME=sys:/public 

#Specifies whether to ignore home directory if it is on remote server 
#and stay on the local server. Default value is NO 
#IGNORE_REMOTE_HOME=NO 

#Specifies whether to ignore home directory and stay on default directory. 
#Default value is NO 
#IGNORE_HOME_DIR=NO 

#Default FTP Context specifies the default context in which the users 
#will be searched. Specify this as fully distinguished name (FDN). 
#If you do not set the default FTP context, the bindery context of the server, 
#if available, is set as default FTP context, otherwise the context of the 
#server object is used. 
#DEFAULT_FTP_CONTEXT= 

#Search list has a list of full DN names of containers separated by 
#commas, from where the search should start for users. Maximum number of 
#containers allowed is 30. The value should not exceed 2048 bytes. If you 
#do not set any search containers, search will start from the server’s 
#default context. 
SEARCH_LIST=.swemp.users.stoneware,.stoneware,.guest.users.stoneware 

#FTP Catalog object name (used for Contextless login). Applicable only 
#for Netware 5.X servers. Default value is ftpcat 
#FTP_CATALOG_NAME=ftpcat 

#Path of FTP user restrictions file. Default value is sys:/etc/ftprest.txt
