NAME

       ftpmail - FIFO-based Perl script for sending email based on proftpd TransferLog

SYNOPSIS

       ftpmail	[  --help  ] [ --fifo fifo-path ] [ --from email-address ] [ --log xferlog-file ] [ --recipient email-address ] [ --subject email-
       subject ] [ --smtp-server server-address ] [ --attach-file ] [ --auth smtp-auth-info-file ] [ --ignore-users  regex-pattern  ]  [  --watch-
       users regex-pattern ]

DESCRIPTION

       ftpmail is a Perl script designed to read ProFTPD's TransferLog log entries, watching for uploads, and to send an automatic email notifica-
       tion when uploads occur.  To use ftpmail , you configure your proftpd daemon to write its TransferLog to a FIFO; the ftpmail program  is  a
       FIFO reading program which then processes those log messages.

OPTIONS

       --help	   Display a short usage description, including all available options.

       --attach-file
		   If used, this will cause a copy of the uploaded file to be included, as an attachment, in the generated email.

       --auth smtp-auth-info-file
		   Configures the path to a file containing SMTP authentication information.  The configured file should look like this:
			  user	    username
			  password  password

       --fifo fifo-path
		   Indicates  the  path  to the FIFO to which proftpd is writing its TransferLog.  That is, this is the path that you used for the
		   TransferLog directive in your proftpd.conf.	This parameter is REQUIRED.

       --from email-address
		   Specifies the email address to use in the From email header.  This parameter is REQUIRED.

       --ignore-users regex-pattern
		   Specifies a Perl regular expression.  If the uploading user name matches this regular expression, then an email notification is
		   NOT sent; otherwise, an email is sent.

       --log xferlog-path
		   Since this script reads the TransferLog using FIFOs, the actual TransferLog file is not written by default.	Use this option to
		   write the normal TransferLog file, in addition to watching for uploads.

       --recipient email-address
		   Specifies an email address to which to send an email notification of the upload.  This option can be  used  multiple  times	to
		   specify multiple recipients.  AT LEAST ONE recipient is REQUIRED.

       --smtp-server server-address
		   Specifies the SMTP server to which to send the email.  This parameter is REQUIRED.

       --subject subject
		   Specify a custom Subject email header for the email sent.  The default Subject is:
			  User '$user' uploaded file '$file' via FTP

       --watch-users regex-pattern
		   Specifies a Perl regular expression.  If the uploading user name matches this regular expression, then an email notification is
		   sent; otherwise, no email is sent.

FILES

       /var/log/xferlog
