NAME

ftp - FTP client configuration file

SYNOPSIS

/etc/default/ftp

DESCRIPTION

Use the ftp file to configure the behavior of the FTP client. Lines that
begin with a hash symbol ("# ") are treated as comment lines and are
ignored.

Behavior Directives

The ftp file supports the following behavior directives:

FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST=yes | no
The ls command of the ftp client sends an
NLST to the FTP Server by default. Several
non-Solaris clients send LIST instead. In
order to make the Solaris ftp client send
LIST when the ls command is issued, set
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST to no. The value of
FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST is yes by default.


If the user sets a value for FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST in the user's environment,
this value will override any FTP_LS_SENDS_NLST directive that is
specified in /etc/default/ftp.
