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.
- "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.
- "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.
- "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.
