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.
You can add directory descriptions to inform File Transfer Protocol
(FTP) users of the contents of a particular directory on the server. A
file called ~FTPSVC~.CKM can be created in the directory to be
annotated with the information to be displayed to the user. Usually,
you want to make this file hidden, so that directory listings do not
display this file. To do this, enter the following command from the
Command Prompt:
attrib +h ~ftpsvc~.ckm
Directory annotation can be toggled by FTP users on a user-by-user
basis with a built-in, site-specific command called CKM. On most FTP
client implementations (including the Windows NT FTP client), users
enter a command similar to
quote site ckm
to get this effect.
The administrator can control the default behavior of this feature for
newly connected users by setting a value for AnnotateDirectories in
the Registry using the Registry Editor.
To turn on annotation by default, edit the Registry (REGEDT32.EXE) and
set the value of AnnotateDirectories to 1. A value of 0 indicates that
directory annotation is off by default. The path to this entry is as
follows:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FtpSvc
