Any way we can modify the home directory without fixing to the folder to /home ??

This is really beyond the scope of this version edtFTPD. We are planning a more powerful version of the product which will support this feature and many others.

Having said that, it actually is possible to do it, but we strongly recommend against it.

If you decide to ignore our warning, what you'd need to do is edit the edtFTPD/etc/passwd file manually. The problem with that is that this file gets overwritten every time you start the service from edtFTPD Manager and therefore any manual changes you've made to the file would be lost. To avoid this you'd have to start and stop it from the Windows Services manager. In other words, you basically wouldn't be able to use edtFTPD Manager anymore, which would be a pity.

If you still want to do it keep in mind that the paths are not in Windows format, but in CygWin format, so, for example, the directory D:\Users\Freddy would be /cygdrive/d/Users/Freddy.

If I wanted to do this on a Windows server, how do I point it to the D: drive when the software installs to the C: drive? Also, I looked at the passwd file in etc and all it contained was "system:*:10:200:,[users-SSID]::"
