Hello,
I do not have a install program as of yet. You must first change a few options in auto_ftp.pl and the conf file before you can use this program. More info can be found in each file. To install the software move auto_ftp.pl to /sbin and them move auto_ftp.conf to /etc.
Also make sure that you use the following commands on the files.
chmod 700 /sbin/auto_ftp.pl
chmod 600 /etc/auto_ftp.conf
# You must create this dir first
chmod 700 /tmp/ftp_tmp
You will also need to have libnet perl modules installed. They may
be downloaded from.
This is the version i used to write auto_ftp so it will work. If there
is anyproblems with newer versions please let me know.

###############--CHANGES--##################################### # 1/24/00 v0.4 Added a option for port for each site in the config file.
# If its not defined it will use 21 as the default. # Also did some code cleanup
#
# 10/8/99 v0.3 Now the config file is used for all options also
# the directory that the files are tranfered from is created on the # fly with a random name inside the one you define. Also the auto_ftp.pl # will check the auto_ftp.conf and if the permitions are not corect # (600 owner root) it will not run. kill -1 does work but kill -HUP # does not i will be looking into this. Also you now can define users # that are alowed to send files. If the persons id is not in the # config file, there file is deleted (not sent) and mail is sent to root.
#
# 10/99 v0.2 Many changes.. Read from config file on startup and on
# kill -HUP . Watch multiple directories.
#
# 9/99 v0.1 script first made public - wow a day to remember
# there may be bugs....
#
Thanks Joshua
