Configuration of easyFTPD

Configuration

All of easyFTPD's configurations are stored in a configuration-file. When installing easyFTPD this file is located at /etc/easyftpd/config . You may copy this file elsewhere if you want to be able to have separate configurations available as well. In that case, start easyftpd with the -c CONFIGFILE option to choose the other config.
