E-mail substitution (ADMINEMAILADDRESS)

The message files specified on the Banners panel (BANNER, LOGINMSG) may include the keyword %E as part of the message text. You can specify a value that the FTP server will substitute for the %E keyword. This substitution is also applicable for the MVSINFO and HFSINFO and message files located on the panel titled, Directory Change Messages which is accessed by clicking the "Message Files..." button.

This configuration option allows the specification of the FTP server administrator. However, the value you entered is not restricted to be an e-mail address and its specification is optional.

Example:
If a BANNER message file contains the following text:
MY BANNER MESSAGE. THIS IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS: %E

And you specified the following value as the E-mail address:
myaddress@us.mycompany.com

The following would be seen at the client when a new connection is started:

D:\>ftp 9.42.103.112
Connected to 9.42.103.112.
220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R4 at MVS171.tcp.raleigh.ibm.com, 18:49:45 on 2002-10-29.

220-MY BANNER MESSAGE.  THIS IS MY EMAIL ADDRESS myaddress@us.mycompany.com
220 Connection will not timeout.
