Section configuration

OpenFTPD supports section specific configuration that means those setting are only used if the user is in a special path of the site. Ones are used by external scripts that cames with the release and others are used internally.

* Used internally.

allow_check

Define what filetypes are allowed by the file checker. File which does not match the regular expression are deleted after upload.

allow_dupe*

Define which filetypes are allowed to upload. File which does not match the regular expression are not allowed to upload.

announce_complete

Announce complete uploads to an irc sitebot.

announce_imdb

Try to find an imdb.com url in the info file and extract some information from the page and announce it to irc.

announce_joinrace

Announce if new users join a race.

announce_newdir

Announce new directories to an irc sitebot.

announce_update

Announce updated information after the first file of an release was finished.

calc_checksum*

If set to yes the checksum of the file is calculated while the upload is in progress. This checksum is sent to the upload checker as the 3th argument.

check_sfv

Check rar- and mp3-files against sfv in this section.

check_zip

Check zip-files in this section.

completedir

Create this directory as tag if a release was completed.

copyinfofile

Copy an infofile to every completed directory

del_empty_nuke*

Toggle if you want to delete empty directories after a nuke automaticly instead of renaming them.

deny_dirs

Use this setting to reject directories containing special words. You can use this for group bans for example.

different_credit*

Use seperated credits for this section. Warning if you enable this all credits earned in this section are not usable in other sections.

download_limit*

Ratio of user in %. So a limit of 33 should be 100/33:1=3.3:1. This mean that you will take 3.3 bytes of credits for each byte the user download.

Expecials values are -1 for disable and 0 for don't take out credits of users.

dupe_filetypes*

Define the type of files that will be stored in the dupelog. File which does not match the regular expression is not added to the dupelog and can be upload again (nfo's for example)

empty_nuke*

How much credits should be removed on an empty directory nuke.

enforce_sfv

If you enable this upload of rar and mp3 files are not allowed until a sfv files was uploaded before.

generate_m3u

Generate m3u playlist for mp3 uploads from the list of uploaded files.

internal_dupecheck*

Enable the internal dupecheck for files.

lock_complete

Lock directory after release was completed. So no on is allowed to upload files anymore.

no_global_stats*

When enable, the stats of this section are not added to the globals stats.

nukeprefix*

Add this prefix to renamed nuked directories.

resolvesymlinks*

When enabled the links under this section are resolved to their true path (unless the true path is out of site dir).

show_dirstat*

Show directory statistics (race info) on chdir.

show_newdirs

Show new directories in this section on SITE NEW. You should disable this in private sections.

siteinfofile

Site information file which can be added to zip files or copied to completed releases.

status_dir

Create status directories showing the current upload status.

statusfilepath

Set the path were the status file should be created, the parent dir is a good place, but this will not work with multi-cd releases so you maybe should choose the root of the section.

umask_anon*

Sets the permissions a directory receives when created by an anonymous user. The first byte gives the rights of the owner, the second the right of the group and the third the rights of other users. The next table shows which bits mean which right. Add the values to form the permission:

Let's have a look on the example 0x7F0000: you first have to seperate the hex number in it's 3 parts user, group and other. In our case this would be 7F for user, and 00 (no permissions) for group and other. According to the table above 0x7F would be 0x40 + 0x20 + 0x10 + 0x08 + 0x04 + 0x02 + 0x1 = 0x7F. Remember that you have to count with hexadecimal numbers. You should use a calculator.

The get and overwrite rights are no directory rights. They are for files only. This means that the right to download (get) and to upload to an exising file (overwrite) are determined by the file permissions and not by the directory permissions. The only exception are directories that are set in cdpath.cfg. There are no separate file permissions, so the directory permissions apply.

umask_root*

Sets the permissions a directory receives when created by a superuser. See table above for meaning of the bits. A good setting that would allow all users to download uploaded files and to finish incomplete directories of other users but doesn't allow to delete other user's files would be 0x7F3333.

umask_user*

Sets the permissions a directory receives when created by a normal user. See table above for meaning of the bits. A good setting that would allow all users to download uploaded files and to finish incomplete directories of other users but doesn't allow to delete other user's files would be 0x7F3333.

undupe_on_delete*

If enabled when the user delete a file the file is removed from the dupelog.

upload_limit*

Ratio of user in %. So a limit of 33 should be 1:100/33=1:3.3. This mean that you will give 3.3 bytes of credits for each byte the user upload.

Expecials values are -1 for disable and 0 for don't give credits.

zipcommentfile

Add this file as comment to all checked zips.
