Here you go, man ftpd
^ (the daemon)
The file /var/run/nologin can be used to disable ftp access. If the file
exists, ftpd displays it and exits. If the file /etc/ftpwelcome exists,
ftpd prints it before issuing the ``ready'' message. If the file
/etc/ftpmotd exists, ftpd prints it after a successful login. Note the
motd file used is the one relative to the login environment. This means
the one in ~ftp/etc in the anonymous user's case.
