Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have any questions on wzdftpd? If so, please ask them on the wzdftpd IRC channel or wzdftpd forum. This page will be updated in the future as more questions start to be asked.

Does wzdftpd support TLS/SSL/FTPS?

Yes.

Which scripting languages can be used with wzdftpd?

Tcl and Perl are both supported at the moment. Or you can always call an external command of your choice, which executes a script/program in any programming language.

Why do I get an error about not finding libwzd_core.so.0 when trying to start wzdftpd on Linux?

The error wzdftpd prints out is:

wzdftpd: error while loading shared libraries: libwzd_core.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The reason is that wzdftpd is looking for this file in /usr/lib instead of /usr/lib/local (which some distributions use as the default). To fix this issue, edit /etc/ld.so.conf and add /usr/local/lib to a new line at the end of the file (if it doesn't already exist). Then type in command ldconfig to make these changes effective. You will need to execute this command every time you install a new library.

Why is this FAQ very short?

Because no one has really been asking many questions! And it is hoped that most FAQ points can be merged into the main documentation, so people won't have to ask questions and have to resort to reading this FAQ.
