-Synchronet FTP Server v1.01 beta
-================================
-
-This version of Synchronet includes an integrated FTP Server. The FTP Server 
-has the following features:
-
-o Allows Anonymous/Guest logins (Anonymous is a psuedonym for the "Guest"
-  account on your BBS - must have a BLANK password to allow anonymous logins).
-
-o Virtual file system mimics your BBS File Libraries/Directories (following
-  ARS security settings).
-
-o Index files are (optionally) automatically generated. Use FTP Explorer
-  (www.ftpx.com) to see how cool this feature can be.
-
-o You can create your own FTP login, hello, and goodbye messages (configured
-  in SBBSCTRL).
-
-o QWK message packets can be downloaded by users and QWKnet accounts and REP
-  packets uploaded.
-
-o Sysop and Upload directories (if configured in SCFG) are supported for
-  uploads, but the contents of the directories aren't visible to users with
-  insufficient access (as configured in SCFG).
-
-o New "DESC" FTP extension to allow files to be described by a user (before
-  the file is uploaded). Use the "literal" or "quote" feature of your FTP
-  client to utilize this feature.
-
-o New "SITE WHO" FTP extension shows who's currently using the BBS and will
-  show information about other FTP users in the future. You may need to use
-  the "quote" feature of your FTP client to send this command to the FTP
-  server.
-
-
-FTP Filename Aliases
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-You can create a list of file aliases that will appear in your FTP root 
-directory for:
-
-o Quick and easy access to often downloaded user files
-
-o Static filenames that corresponds to a dynamically changing filenames
-  e.g. ftp://vert.synchro.net/sbbs_for_dos.zip always points to the current
-       versioned filename of Synchronet for DOS (e.g. SBBS230B.ZIP)
-
-o Download access to files on the local disk not in the BBS file database 
-
-How? Edit the file CTRL\FTPALIAS.CFG (SBBSCTRL->FTP->Edit->Alias List). The
-format is similar to that of the Synchronet Mail Server ALIAS.CFG, one alias
-per line in the format:
-
-alias	path	description
-
-The alias is not case-sensitive and may not contain spaces. This is the 
-filename that will appear in your FTP root directory.
-
-The path element is either the full path and filename to a file on a
-local file system (e.g. C:\DOCS\MYFILE.TXT) or a virtual path to a file in the
-BBS file database. Virtual paths are specified as "bbs://lib/dir/filename"
-where lib is the library short name, dir is the directory internal code and
-filename is the actual filename of the referenced file (may be the long
-filename, but may not contain spaces). 
-
-The description is the optional description of the file that will be used in 
-the dynamically generated Auto Index file (if you have this option enabled).
-
-Lines beginning with a ';' are considered comments and are ignored.
-
-Example Alias:
-
-sbbs_for_dos.zip bbs://main/sbbs/sbbs230b.zip Current version for SBBS for DOS
-
-
-Sysop Access
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-To login with system operator access, you must login with a user account that
-has a security level of 90 or higher (user #1 usually has level 99) and enter 
-your password as "pass:syspass" where pass is your personal password and 
-syspass is the system password.
-
-A successful sysop login will generate a login message stating 
-"Sysop access granted". Logging in with just your personal password will give
-you normal (non-sysop) access.
-
-Sysop access allows you to mount local file systems and will enable secure
-BBS database features in the future (such as deleting/renaming files).
-
-
-Local File System Access
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-This is a powerful new feature that allows the sysop to access any and all
-locally accessible files and file systems via FTP (very convenient for
-remote administration). The "Local File System" checkbox must be checked in the
-FTP configuration dialog in SBBSCTRL to enable this feature.
-
-To access local file systems, you must first login with sysop access
-(see "Sysop Access" for details). Once logged in with sysop access, you may
-mount the local file system. There are two ways to mount the local file system
-(and subsequently to revert to the BBS file system):
-
-SMNT (Structure Mount)
-----------------------
-Sysops may use the FTP "SMNT" command to mount the local files system. Since most 
-FTP clients do not support the SMNT command, you'll probably need to use the 
-"quote" feature of your FTP client to send the command to the FTP server. 
-
-The syntax is "SMNT new_dir" where new_dir is the file system specifier 
-for the new directory used in the FTP hierarchy. Example: "SMNT C:\" 
-would make the root directory of your local C drive your new current FTP
-directory (for Windows' command-line ftp, type "quote SMNT C:\").
-
-You can access shared drives on other machines on your local area network
-by using "SMNT \\othersys\drive" where othersys is the name of the other
-computer and drive is the share name of the desired drive.
-
-To switch back to (mount) the BBS file database, use "SMNT bbs:"
-
-CD (Change Directory)
----------------------
-Sysops can mount the local file system using a special case of the CD (CWD, XCWD)
-command. By prefixing "local:" to the new directory, the local file system will
-be automatically mounted. Example: "cd local:c:\".
-
-Once the local file system is mounted, you can switch between drives and shared
-drives with the CD command (the "local:" specifier is not needed). 
-Example: "cd d:\".
-
-To access a shared drive on other machines: "cd \\othersys\drive".
-
-To switch back to (mount) the BBS file system, use "cd bbs:".
-
-Since some FTP clients do not support the SMNT command, nor allow users to enter
-verbatim FTP commands, the CD method is the easiest and most reliable method of
-accessing the local file system.
