Author How to change Default Message

Hi,

I am using IIS FTP Server 5.0 on Windows 2000 server.

When users connect to FTP server, followign message is displayed

"220 ISV2FTPSRV Microsoft FTP Service (Version 5.0)."

I want to change this default message (not the welcome message) displayed when user connects to a Microsoft FTP Server.

In short, I dont want people connecting to my FTP server, know that the server is published using Microsft FTP.

Thanks,
Bhalchandra

1) It won't make a difference
2) You have to hex edit the DLL
3) If you're up to #2, a Google of the groups will get you the
answer.

You can change it but it won't protect your from attacks.

so make sure your ftp resource is properly secure with NTFS and you can
secure the network connection between client and server.
