Default usage log file (AscII file)

Example setup

First you will have to setup at least one user, one group and one share. The user also has to be member of a group.

Do the following:

This will make a user with the name "testusr" and the password "testpwd", and please note what userid it get, that will be needed to add the user to a group.

zftpacct -au testusr testpwd

This will make a group with the name "testgrp", also note the groupid given.

zftpacct -ag testgrp

This will make a share for "x:\path" with full access for both user and group.

zftpacct -as x:/path . rwx--rwx------- 0 0

And finally this will add the user testusr to the group testgrp. One user can be member in as many groups as needed.

zftpacct -am testgrp testusr

Now you should be ready to start the ftpd with the command:

zftpd -s
