For those of you just joining us, a 220 message is issued when the
FTP service is ready for a new user and a 230 mesage is issued when
the user logs in and can proceed (RFC 959)

I have this in proftpd.conf:

  DisplayLogin                  welcome.msg
  DisplayFirstChdir             .message

Root directory is /home/ftp/pub; I have .message files in each
directory except /home/ftp; I have welcome.msg in /home/ftp.
It seems to work here, so I suspect an issue with your file locations.
Of course, if you run ProFTPd form inetd or xinetd, you need to HUP
{x}inetd after changing the configuration.

 Welcome to dict.kurtwerks.com, KurtWerks' mirror of
 ftp.dict.org.  This is a (hopefully) complete archive of
 the dict.org FTP site.  If you have problems with *this*
 site (can't download files, discover missing or corrupted
 files), please send email to dict at kurtwerks.com. It
 will help if you put "DICT" or "dict" somewhere in the
 subject line.
 
250 CWD command successful.
