tftpd Administrator v0.35 readme.txt
------------------------------------

Don't use zftpd Adm v0.30 with zftpd v0.35!!!  And do NOT attempt
to run zftpd Adm v0.35 with zftpd v0.30. It will convert the files to
v0.35, and will render them useless for zftpd v0.30. This is not a bug,
but a feature! :)


INTRODUCTION
------------

This is an administration program for Terje's FTP Daemon
(TFTPD). The purpose of this program is to ease the task
of administrating your FTP server.

The zftpd Administrator has to be in the same directory
as the daemon to work properly.

This is the 5th beta, and should have all the features
of TFTPD v0.35b, except for Access rules. It should also
be stable and compatible. But it's still a beta, so:

REMEMBER TO BACKUP YOUR CONFIGURATION FILES!!


ZFTPDADM AS A DAEMON FRONT-END
------------------------------

zftpdadm is now capable of being a PM front-end for
the daemon. Currently you will be able to see how many
users are online, and who they are. This is not very
advanced yet, though.

The daemon has to be started by the Administrator for
this feature to work properly. This might be changed
in the future.


USAGE
-----

There are just a couple of things I would like to mention
in this section, as the tftpd Administrator should be pretty
easy and straightforward to use.

 * To add a user to a group you have to remember that both
   the user and the group have to be selected in the main
   dialog (the one named "tftpd Administrator"). When both
   items are marked press the "===>" button.

 * tftpd Administrator has the ability to open several users,
   groups and shares at the same time. You can even open the
   same users several times (not sure if this is bug or feature
   yet).
   NOTE 1: If you open the same user/group/share twice, edit
   one and then save it, the other will NOT be updated. This
   means that you have to CANCEL the other to avoid overwriting
   the settings saved in the other window.
   NOTE 2: The open windows except from the main dialog will
   not be updated when you do something which should affect
   them in other windows - like add a user to a group. This
   shouldn't be a problem, just close and reopen it.



INTERFACE
---------

I have done some changes to the interface. I've added
two more windows - the main window and the daemon window.
