Are there any new methods of interacting with the server? besides TCL and PHP?

Could you be more descriptive? "interacting with the server" is so vague it could have any number of responses that you may not consider relevant. Connecting to the server with an FTP client would be considered "interacting with the server". ;)

By "new" methods, are you referring to features in future versions of ioFTPD or methods in the current version you aren't aware of? (There's a lot more than Tcl and PHP.)

If it's an external process communicating with ioFTPD you can use IPC (shared memory/window messaging). If the external process is event driven (executed by ioFTPD on certain events, like OnUploadComplete etc.) there are commands that can be sent to ioFTPD via stdout (!buffer/!change etc.).

The most simple way is to just logon your server and type the add user cmd ;)

right now connecting to the server would be a more universal method. If you use the C++ shared memory/PHP/TCL features they may/wil not work on v1.0.
