Q: What do I need to know before installing?
Run the script as root. glFTPd installs to /glftpd and the eggdrop to /glftpd/sitebot. Make sure the packages listed under Requirements are installed. Only tested on Debian/Ubuntu.
Q: Is it hard to use?
No. Run install.sh and answer the questions as they come up. There are brief explanations for most options.
Q: What do I do after installation?
Create the initial sitebot userfile:
su - sitebot -c "/glftpd/sitebot/sitebot -m"Then message the bot on IRC (replace sitename with your chosen site name):
/msg sitename hello
Follow the bot's instructions to complete setup. The bot auto-starts via crontab every 10 minutes. To manually start it:
su - sitebot -c "/glftpd/sitebot/sitebot"Q: Where can I find more glFTPd scripts?
