Using welcome and exit messages

You can create messages to send to a client on successful connection, logon, and logoff. The client usually displays these messages in the message log.

§     Welcome Message. The FTP server sends this message to a user upon successful logon. You can use the message variables to report information, such as the current number of files and the maximum for this user.

§     Exit Message. The FTP server sends this message to the user on logoff. You can use the message variables to provide statistics for the FTP session, for example, the number of files received and sent by the user.

Note:Welcome and exit messages are not supported with SSH.

To create or edit a welcome or an exit message:

1. From the top menu, select Host > Host Settings > Messages. The Messages page opens.

2. In Welcome message and Exit message, enter text for the messages. You can use message variables in these messages.

3. Click Save.
