WARNING: Using Registry Editor incorrectly can cause
serious, system-wide problems that may require you to
reinstall Windows NT to correct them. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of
Registry Editor can be solved. Use this tool at your own
risk.
The Windows NT File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server offers the ability
to create custom greeting and exit messages when users connect to or
disconnect from the FTP Server.
To add a custom greeting or exit message, do the following:
- Open the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
- Use the following path:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FtpSvc
\Parameters - From the Edit menu, choose Add Value to create either of the
following entries:
GreetingMessage
ExitMessage
- Set the Data Type of both values to REG_MULTI_SZ.
- Enter any desired messages in the Data dialog box.
Once these entries are created, any users connecting to the Windows
NT FTP Server will see the messages.
