The Windows NT File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Server offers the ability
to create custom greeting and exit messages when users connect to or
disconnect from the FTP Server.
 
To add a custom greeting or exit message, do the following:
 
1. Open the Registry Editor (REGEDT32.EXE).
 
2. Use the following path:
 
      HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FtpSvc
      \Parameters
 
3. From the Edit menu, choose Add Value to create either of the 
   following entries:
 
      GreetingMessage
      ExitMessage
 
4. Set the Data Type of both values to REG_MULTI_SZ.
 
5. Enter any desired messages in the Data dialog box.
 
Once these entries are created, any users connecting to the Windows
NT FTP Server will see the messages.
