put it int he file that pops up from the FTP server when you switch to that directory, am not sur what the file is called, but like when you switch to the pub/Linux directory on sunsite, it gives youa rundown of what Linux is and all.
The ftpd's that implement the directory-change messages is not a standard one, and that functionality has been added to the servers which support it (possibly Linux ships with wuftpd, but no commercial version of Unix I know does.) The extended servers are very widely available, and although they do make ftp so much nicer to administer, they are not as widely deployed as I would have expected by now. Ian.
