The general consensus seemed to be to get the wu archive ftp server.
Current version is:
wu-ftpd-2.4 from wuarchive.wustl.edu
One other suggestion was the following:
If the message is quite short you can use emacs or some other
editor that can handle binary files to replace that "server ready\0"
string with something else...eg.
"T-W serv OK\0\0" (note using \0 to pad out the message to exactly the
same length).
Since I want a several line message, I will get the wu archive ftp server.
One caution I received (and thanks, it never hurts to point out things that
some of you may think are obvious . . . because it may not be to us "rookies"):
If, by "customize", you mean "remove the numeric response", you don't
want to do that.
Thanks much to the following for their responses (and to anyone I missed or

My question was:
---------
Sorry if this is a "rookie" question, but I've been looking through all the doc
I have been able to get my hands on regarding FTP . . . and have not found an
answer.
I would like to customize the 220 "server ready" message that is displayed
when connecting to an FTP server. I'm running Solaris 2.3, using the version
of FTP provided. Is it possible to customize that message (and if yes, can
someone point me in the right direction?!?!?!?). If not, can anyone tell me
where I can find a version of FTP that allows this?
Thanks very much for your help!
