You're done!

thorough installation instructions

- installation
create directory anywhere and untar your gftdtool package there. edit the gftpdtool.cfg files first line, where you specify the directory where the weektop etc statistics are to be created. personally I like to use tops/ dir in the current gftpdtool dir and to copy the tops into the real /.ftp-data/tops/ dir, of course it is totally safe to let the tool to create tops there directly. its your choice.

- initialization
for the first time you run this program (or basically before you start to use it in the site), please use "/yeartop" parameter. this parameter will initialize the yeartop which creates database with filename "yeartop.dat" into the tooldir. database is basically for counting users bytes yearly (you ARE going to run your site over year, right?) :)

- example dir?
yes, the example/ dir. there are the files

- cron
add this line to your crontab, it runs the tops in five minute intervals.
1,6,11,16,21,26,31,36,41,46,51 * * * * root /sitestuff/gftpdtool/gftpdtool >/dev/null
and this is used to run the weektop database.
