*****************************************************************8

Every answers to your questions are in the ftp configuration file, /etc/ftp.conf or /etc/proftp.conf, maybe /etc/ftpd.conf...

i did'nt found these files inside the /etc

What linux distribution do you use?
What FTP server did you install?
How did you install the FTP server?

hi yadav,
every thing will be in configuration file.
see /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf

i am using RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 5.0 Server edition
i used "vsftpd-2.0.5-10.el5" rpm to install the ftp server
********************************************************************

Run locate vsftpd.conf in a terminal.

man vsftpd.conf will give details how you can configure
