E-mail address check

This option is valid only if you have chosen to place restrictions on anonymous users(ANONYMOUSLEVEL=3).

If you specify login processing to use either the user ID ANONYMOU or you specify a user ID and password, then FTP prompts the user for an e-mail address to log in rather than prompting for a password.

Use the e-mail address check to control the extent to which the FTP server validates the entered e-mail address.

You have three levels of verification to select from.

  1. "Ignore it and log the user in"
    The FTP server does not validate the e-mail address entered by the FTP client. Whatever the user entered is accepted and the user can log in.
  2. "Warn the user and proceed with login"
    The FTP server inspects the e-mail address entered by the FTP client. Any value the client enters is accepted as valid; however, the FTP server returns a warning reply to the client if the e-mail address is not acceptable. In either case, the FTP server allows the FTP client to log in.
  3. "Do not log the user in"
    The FTP server verifies that the e-mail address entered by the FTP client is a valid e-mail address before allowing the user to log in. The FTP server rejects the login if the e-mail address is not valid.
