======= Note =======
====================

easyftpd is not actively maintained.
It was exported from Google code on 2015-03-15
I think it should still work fine, but I haven't touched this code in 7 years or so.

=== Installation ===
====================
  
Install easyFTPD by running the following as superuser

python setup.py install


=== Running easyFTPD ===
========================

easyFTPD can both be used by a super-user as a "regular" ftp-server on port 21, or by a non-super-user on non-privileged ports. By default easyFTPD is configured to run at port 21, but this can either be changed in the configuration file (/etc/easyftpd/config) or by starting the application using the -p option.

To run easyFTPD with the default settings, simply write

easyftpd

To change the settings, you can modify the config-file or pass optional arguments listed below.

== easyFTPD options ==
======================

-p PORTNO 	Port to run server at (Default: default-port in config-file)
-c FILEPATH 	Configuration file (Default: /etc/easyftpd/config)
-l DIRPATH 	Directory to use for logging (Default: /var/log/easyftpd)
-d 	Run in the background as a daemon
-s 	Silent mode. Disables logging
-h, --help 	Print available options

For an example, the following line starts easyFTPD as a background process on port 12345 without logging.

easyftpd -d -p 12345 -s
