Chapter 5 - The Command Maintenance Display

The Command Maintenance Display allows you to set up commands that can be run when certain FTP operations are used by a specific user. It is important to remember the the command will be executed BEFORE the FTP command is performed. So if you are doing something such as changing permissions or anything with the file, it is advised to call a program that includes a delay before performing the operation on the file.
