<b>File "Facts" Support</b><br>
<p>
The <code>mod_facts</code> module is ProFTPD's module for handling the
<code>MLSD</code> and <code>MLST</code> commands, in support of
<a href="http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3659.html">RFC 3659</a>. In addition,
the <code>mod_facts</code> module implements the <code>MFF</code> and
<code>MFMT</code> commands defined in:
<pre>
<a href="http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-somers-ftp-mfxx-04.txt">http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-somers-ftp-mfxx-04.txt</a>
</pre>
<p>
This module is contained in the <code>mod_facts.c</code> file for
ProFTPD 1.3.<i>x</i>, and is compiled by default.
<p>
The most current version of <code>mod_facts</code> can be found in the
ProFTPD source distribution:

<h2><a name="FactsAdvertise">FactsAdvertise</a></h2>
<strong>Syntax:</strong> FactsAdvertise <em>on|off</em><br>
<strong>Default:</strong> FactsAdvertise on<br>
<strong>Context:</strong> server config, <code><VirtualHost></code>, <code><Global></code><br>
<strong>Module:</strong> mod_facts<br>
<strong>Compatibility:</strong> 1.3.2rc2 and later
<p>
The <code>FactsAdvertise</code> directive is used to control whether
the <code>mod_facts</code> module advertises its <code>MLST</code> support
via the <code>FEAT</code> command.
<p>
By default, the <code>mod_facts</code> module will list <code>MLST</code>
in the <code>FEAT</code> response. FTP clients use this to determine whether
to use the newer <code>MLSD</code>/<code>MLST</code> commands, or the older
<code>LIST</code>/<code>NLST</code> commands. Some FTP clients, though,
will attempt to use the newer commands just as if they were equivalent to
the older commands, including supporting glob/wildcard characters.
Section 2.2.2 of RFC3659 explicitly states that wildcard characters are
<b>not</b> supported in the <code>MLSD</code> and <code>MLST</code> commands.
Thus, to prevent problems when using such FTP clients with proftpd,
you can disable the advertising of support for those commands using
<i>e.g.</i> the following in your <code>proftpd.conf</code>:
<pre>
<IfModule mod_facts.c>
FactsAdvertise off
</IfModule>
</pre>
