I would love to know how it does the impossible - since the ftp protocol doesn't know anything about domain names :) > The only limitation comes from single common passwd file, i.e. > you can not have two different users on two different virtual > ftp-server having the same login name... That's because it simply boils down to ftp not being able to support virtual name hosting. In reality, the above fudge goes something like this: domain: ftp.virtual.a.example.com user/pass: usera/passa directory: /var/ftp/usera domain: ftp.virtual.b.example.com user/pass: userb/passb directory: /var/ftp/userb userb can actually login using either ftp.virtual.a.example.com or ftp.virtual.b.example.com. The different domains is just a convenience for the users and makes not one bit of difference to an ftp server because it only knows about which IP address(es) to listen to. -- Crayon -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
