How to add users to filezilla server automatically

[santhoshsd]

Can windows system users be allowed to ftp using their username and password. vsftpd allows this configuration to be done.

Can users be added to and removed from a filezilla group from command line. I want to add users to a ftp group allowing them to ftp
when they are part of the group and remove them from the ftp group when their FTP permissions are revoked.

No, not possible. FileZilla Server has been specifically designed to be independent of the account system of windows.

You can however directly edit FileZilla Server.xml and afterwards call "FileZilla Server.exe" /reload-config

so if I have to add users to Filezilla server through a .NET program, I have to edit FileZilla Server.xml ... add the user lines and run the command "FileZilla Server.exe /reload-config".

But if I add the user directly by editing FileZilla Server.xml ... how do I encrypt the user password ?

The password isn't encrypted. Instead a hash of the password is stored. In this case MD5.
