I would like to disable the banner in OS X FTP Server so the custom banner is shown, but the type of server is not shown.

220 myftp FTP server (Version:  Mac OS X Server 10.3.9 003 - +GSSAPI) ready.


The line I do not want shown is the last line.  I have looked in the /Library/FTPServer/Messages directory to see how to disable it, but I haven't been too successful yet.
Edit the file:
/Library/FTPServer/Configuration/ftpaccess   

and change the line that reads:

greeting   full
to
greeting  brief
or
greeting terse

Stop and start the service and give it a go!  (tested on a 10.4.x server)

If you're on a 10.3.x server,  and the line doesn't exist,  put it in.   It's in the man pages

For some reason  "full" is the default on 10.3.x.   "Brief" is the default on 10.4.x.
