README for the FTP SERVER AnomicFTPD (C) by Michael Peter Christen

Please visit www.anomic.de for latest changes or new documentation. The AnomicFTPD FTP Server comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY! This is free software, licensed under the LGPL 2.1 and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; see file lgpl21.txt for details.

This is a full-featured ftp server in java for almost any system architecture.

The complete documentation can be found inside the 'Doc' subdirectory in this release. Start browsing the manual by opening the index.html file with your web browser. Please see the FAQ there if you have trouble accessing the ftp server.

Startup of the FTP Server:

• on Linux : start ftpd.sh ("nohup ./ftpd.sh > /dev/null &")
• on Windows : double-click ftpd.bat
• on Mac OS X : double-click ftpd.command (alias is possible!)
• on any other OS : set your classpath to the 'Classes' folder and execute ftpd.class, while your current system path must target the release directory to access the configuration files.

After start-up, the ftp server runs with a predefined configuration of user-accounts that instantly allow connection to your complete file system. The output on the terminal then explains how to connect the server easily with URL strings. While this is convenient for first-time and one-time - users, we recommend to change the default configuration if you use the server in an environment with more than one user. Please see the files ftpd.groups and ftpd.accounts to set-up your own accounts.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the author: Send a mail to Michael Christen (mc@anomic.de) with a meaningful subject including the word 'AnomicFTPD' to prevent that your email gets stuck in my anti-spam filter.

If you like to have a customized server for special needs, feel free to ask the author for a business proposal to customize the server according to your needs. We provide also integration solutions if the server is about to be integrated into your enterprise application.
