[Xitami] Getting the FTP side up and running

[Johannes Prost]

Hi Ralph,

My system runs with the same version and I'm only just half a year familiar with websites and all 
that "Stuff". Please excuse me, if I explain this a bit like a newcomer.

It sounds for me that you copied the xitami.cfg to the default.cfg. That is not the way it should 
be. You create a default.cfg and put in the settings you prefer for YOUR system. Only that, nothing 
else. Xitami will read first the xitami.cfg and after that the default.cfg and the settings in the 
default.cfg will override the ones in the xitami.cfg.

I have some directories in the ftproot from xitami and I have no problems to get my files.
The directories are looking like this:

..\ftproot\directoryname-1
..\ftproot\directoryname-2

one user can access only one of the two directories with the rights I gave them.
You are looking for a user "anonymus" create one and as far as I understood, this user should only 
be able to retrieve files. He will get the right "G" for get.

Your ftpdirs.aut should look now like this

[directoryname-1]
    anonymus = "G"
[directoryname-2]
    anonymus = "G"

make sure that you have one space between = and "G"

and your ftpusers.aut should look like 

[anonymus]
    Access = "G"
    Aliases = "0"
    Hard-quota = ""
    Password = "anonymus"
    Pipe = ""
    Root = "directoryname-1"
    Soft-quota = ""
    Use-quotas = "0"

Same thing here with the space. If you like, you can disable the password. If I'm correct, it will 
look like password = "".
I don't have anonymus access. 

I hope this will be correct and it is from help for you.
