I have the following two path filters configured with a text file =
containing text on what constitutes a valid file name should users =
attempt to upload a file with invalid characters.  While the path filter =
itself appears to be working, the message is not being displayed to =
users.  Instead, they receive an error indicating that permission was =
denied.  (Filename (accept)) appears in part of the message but it's =
still not obvious to all as to what the problem is.   I've looked up the =
path-filter statement in the man page and the format I have seems to be =
correct.  Any ideas on why the message is not being displayed?

path-filter     guest   /var/ftp/pub/etc/filenameconv.msg =
^[[:alnum:]._-]*$ ^[.-]
path-filter     anonymous       /var/ftp/pub/etc/filenameconv.msg =
^[[:alnum:]._-]*$ ^[.-]

Thanks,
