Re: Anybody use Pure-FTP

["Tim" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You are about 20 steps ahead of me - I can't create a user - do I do
it from SSH into teh drobo or do I do it via a client via filezilla?  I
have looked at the HowTos online and am beyond baffled.

To aid my understanding do I "run" pure-ftp like a dos exe and
then add the users or do I use Linux commands to add them?

Sorry to be such a noobie

Cheers

Tim.
