add new user when running FTP server without ui
Hi there,
I couldn't find any information about adding new users on a already running server, i mean, i noticed that adding new users is not possible when the server is not running at all, so i run my server without UI, then i need to use the ui to add users but this is not possible because i can't start another server, one is already running....i'm i missing something? can the UI be used to configure the FTP server which is running in non ui mode?
Thanks,
Catalin

Hi,
You are right about it. We shall add one SITE
command to do that. Then an admin user should be able
to create user using SITE command.
Thanks,

Hi Ricardo,
Thanks for your reply, you're right, using a db makes the users management on the fly possible, if i run SQL statements my self; i have no problem with that, just wanned to make sure. I think you'll agree with me that this is not realy user friendly, and i don't quite understand why user management from the UI doesn't work unless the server is running....maybe this under development for future versions too, at least i hope so.

Catalin

Hi,
using a db, for user configuration, is a possibility
to solve that. You can add new users 'on the fly'
by an insert statement in the specified user table.
On the new users login the db is requested on demand,
so he/ she is known without a refresh or restart.
(The users will be shown in ui on next start up or
reload, but will be able to login after sql-insert.
- I don't try that with the properties files.)
Finally you can add new users without a running server
by using a db, too. The user infos are refreshed by
any startup.
Hope it's useful,
