campus - The FTP-server for the BeOS®

campus: Using campus

In order to use campus you need

  • A computer capable of running the BeOS® R4 (Intel or PPC)

  • A network connection
To start campus, simply doubleclick its icon from the Tracker or start it using the Terminal application. To change the configuration start the campus preferences program, located in /boot/preferences.

Reloading the configuration on the fly

campus watches the configuration file it loads at startup and reloads that file whenever the file is changed. campus also watches the directory of the configuration file (or of the link to it), so that if the file is replaced by another one, campus will load the newly created file.
All users that are logged into the server when the configuration file is reloaded will continue to use the old values, the new configuration will only be used for new connections.
Remember: Since errors in the configuration file are currently only reported to a Terminal I strongly recommend to start campus from the Terminal at least once after every change to the configuration to make sure that campus understands it correctly.
