I would love to know how it does the impossible - since the ftp protocol |
| 8 |
doesn't know anything about domain names :) |

That's because it simply boils down to ftp not being able to support |
| 15 |
virtual name hosting. In reality, the above fudge goes something like |
| 16 |
this: |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
domain: ftp.virtual.a.example.com |
| 19 |
user/pass: usera/passa |
| 20 |
directory: /var/ftp/usera |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
domain: ftp.virtual.b.example.com |
| 23 |
user/pass: userb/passb |
| 24 |
directory: /var/ftp/userb |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
userb can actually login using either ftp.virtual.a.example.com or |
| 27 |
ftp.virtual.b.example.com. The different domains is just a convenience |
| 28 |
for the users and makes not one bit of difference to an ftp server |
| 29 |
because it only knows about which IP address(es) to listen to. |
