Hello Chris,

Re: FTP Server Messages

----------------------------------------------Chris Schofield writes--
Every time I start an FTP session on the HP3000 I get the following
message in the stdlist for JFTPMON

  New server created <date> on pin nn

I am using MPE 5.5. I have a program which generates an FTP session at
least every 5 minutes.  I am worried that the spoolfile will become
very large !  Is there a way of disabling this message ?  Does this
message also appear in other releases of MPE ?  Thanks for any help

Their is no configurable way to eliminate this message, maybe someone
out here has a trick, but the answer is no.

I calculate this entry and a blank line would be seen 228 times per
day = 456 lines and this would equal 6-7 pages of text per day if
you printed it (I would not suggest their is value in printing it).
The disk space utilization which takes up by 6-7 pages per day
does not seem significant to me, but that of course is relative to
your available disk space.

I would certainly include a ;outclass=,1 parameter on my JFTPMON
logon to avoid printing this $STDLIST and I would stop the JFTPMON
before backups and "poolf delete" the $stdlist, then a new empty
one would be created when JFTPMON log's back on...

A similar entry is also logged on 6.0 & 6.5 when FTP is started
under JINETD on 6.0 & 6.5:

  Received call for: ftp tcp

P.S. The value of having this entry in the $stdlist of JFTPSTRT or
JINETD is for trouble shooting purposes.   I hope this helps.
