Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello all:) I'm looking for an alternate ftpd which allows me to take certain (configurable) actions based on the receipt of certain files. For exmple, I want to "process" a tar file full of jpg images upon receipt. I know there are alternatives. I can run swatch on the log file or torture syslog to piping its output into something, but I think these are all ugly kludges. I know ncftpd sort of has this option, but it does it by sending udp packets to a process which is supposed to be running and not miss the packet. I looked at the source for ftpd and got lost in the ftpcmd.y processing. Adding a simple printf statement blows the whole thing out of the water. All the ftp servers in the ports collection appear to have the same structure. troll counts on linux specific syscalls. Any simple ftpd servers out there? Any which have configurable actions to handle incoming files? Thanks, --- David To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
