Here is the configuration screen, and what each value means:

User List The left hand side of the dialog box displays a list of configured users. If you wish to change a user's profile, highlight that user in the list, enter the new information, and select "Save Profile"
Profile Name This is the user's login name, which should be entered at the "Name:" prompt when they wish to login to the server.
Set/Change user password This is where you set the user's password. Since the passwords are saved as an MD5 hash, you cannot recover a users forgotten password (since MD5 hashes are non-reversible). Instead, set a new password for the user.

The user "anonymous" is a special case, and does not require a password.

User Directory This will be the directory that the user sees as his "root" directory once he logs in. The user can access subdirectories of this directory, but cannot access any of the parent directories.
This user can: This is a checklist of the user's rights. Available rights include:
  • Login
  • Download
  • Upload
  • Delete Files
  • Overwrite Files
  • Rename Files
  • Make Directories
  • Delete Directories
Save Profile This writes the user's profile to the configuration file. Since the config file is read dynamically each time a user logs in, you do NOT have to restart 3CDaemon for the changes to take effect.
Delete Profile This will remove a user from the list of configured users. This user will no longer be allowed to login to the server. Since the config file is read dynamically each time a user logs in, you do NOT have to restart 3CDaemon for the changes to take effect.

Note that "anonymous" is a special case, and cannot be removed. If you wish to disallow anonymous access, remove "Login" from anonymous' rights.
