LundFTPD Usage

The configuration is set in the lundftpd.conf file. Open this file with a text editor and update to suite your needs.

Administration from command line

LundFTPD can perform most of these tasks while running, see SITE commands below.

To list help,
        lundftpd -h

To create a user/users,
	lundftpd -a

To delete a user/users,
	lundftpd -d

To edit a user/users,
	lundftpd -e
        Note that the EDITOR variable has to be set.
        I.e. 'setenv EDITOR vi' or maybe 'export EDITOR=vi'

To list a user/users,
	lundftpd -l

To start ftpd in verbose mode (don't go daemon),
	lundftpd -v

To dump users into a form which can be used to recreate database,
	lundftpd -x > dump.txt

To recreate user database from dump,
	lundftpd -a < dump.txt

To load alternative configfile,
        lundftpd -f <file>

Administration from FTP client, SITE commands

If you have an FTP client with GUI, look for a function called "Send RAW command" or similar to issue the following commands.
