The first table on this page allows you to configure message files to be displayed to the user at login time or when a certain directory is entered. For each message file you must specify a path (absolute or relative to the directory), choose when it is to be displayed, and select the user classes to display this message file for (if no classes are entered, the file will be displayed for all).

The second table is for configuring README files. The FTP server will display the last modification time of each file, either at login or when a certain directory is entered. For each README file you must specify a path, choose when it is to be displayed, and select the user classes to display the last modification time for.

At the bottom of the page are a few additional options that relate to message files. Most useful is the `Pre-login banner` option, which allows you to choose a file to be displayed before the user logs in.
