Glossary

backend

A backend is a module which provides a layer between the server and the application that will store users and groups. It allows to use plain text files, directories(LDAP) or databases in the same convenient way.

hook

A hook is a function or a program, which is called when an associated event happends.

protocol

A protocol is used at every point where you can use a function or the name of a program (exemple: on events). A protocol is a specific way of running the command, and are often managed by plugins.

Exemple:


tcl:/path/to/script.tcl
is the line corresponding to a file name, to be executed with the 'tcl' protocol. In this cas, it means the internal TCL interpreter will handle execution.

tls modes

Three modes are available for TLS: implicit, explicit and explicit_strict. In explicit mode, server will start in clear mode (as usual), and if the client issues a "AUTH TLS" command, then it switches to ssl (put normal connections are still allowed).

In explicit_strict mode, s_ref.ht./usr/share/doc/wzdftpd/html/freebsd.html0000644000000000000000000001031310732475672020572 0ustar rootroot00000000000000 wzdftpd FreeBSD notes
