# Manage FTP users

In this section you will see how you can add, view information or delete a user and see the list of users.

# Add a user

To add a user you will need to make the following command with these mandatory parameters:

  • --username or -u - Username of FTP account
  • --password or -p - Password of FTP account
  • --root or -r - Directory of FTP account
  • --uid - User id of FTP account (You can find it with id -u or id -u username)
  • --gid - Group id of FTP account (You can find it with id -g or id -g username)

If you want to use a virtual user (who has no account on the machine) you will have to give them the ids corresponding to the user owner of the folder.

dftps user add --username myuser --password mypassword --root /mydirectory --uid 1000 --gid 1000

Or with short flags:

dftps user add -u myuser -p mypassword -r /mydirectory --uid 1000 --gid 1000

# Get a user

To get the information of a particular user:

dftps user get --username myuser

Which will output something like this:


 Username        Folder                         uid   gid  

 myuser          /mydirectory                   1000  1000

# List all users

To see the list of all users:

dftps user

Which will output something like this:


 Username        Folder                         uid   gid  

 admin           /srv/ftp                       1000  1000 

 virtualuser     /home/user/virtualuser         1000  1000

# Delete a user

To delete a user:

dftps user del --username myuser
