Userfile / Services

[o_dog]

can you change the userfile to ONLY use lowercase. There is no reason to have uppercase letters in it for the new fields.

Don't like adding "-nocase" ? :) When manipulating a userfile you can return it in all lower/upper whatever as the built-in reader doesn't care about case. So you don't have to get it correct however it will be written to disk and returned in future calls in the default form.

[o_dog]

nah, but there just is no reason to have them uppercase when the rest is lower

I have added HTTP Services to network as shown below as i am interrested to see what can and can't be done however i do obviously know that HTTP_Service is not the same as using a HTTP client to browse the FTP like ftp://user.pass@ip:Port/ and i do assume u type http://whatever but what do i type is my ?

# list of services (you just defined them above!) to start
Active_Services = FTP_Service
Active_Services = HTTP_Service


I assuming the HTTP_Service is like a GUI for a wireless network router when u type http://192.168.0.1/ and if its not it would be nice to see it do so to change all settings but anyways how do i access?

Well, first off it's "Active_Services = FTP_Service HTTP_Service" since it's just a simple list.

Basically it just allows you to use http(s) to download files from the ftp server. You can specify user:password style login information in the http request so it does handle authentication against existing user accounts which is nice. Other than that it allows for some administration via the interface but nothing you can use without someone writing the front end to it... I wouldn't bother with it at all since it's an incomplete implementation hardly worth using.

There used to be a Telnet service and I yanked it because it was worthless and there is a decent shot at some point I'll do the same to the HTTP service because I could then eliminate all the crappy C pointer tricks that attempt to make the services look the same which is fragile and annoying to debug...
