-FIXME+In 2020, ''qnet-ftp.js'' replaced the now deprecated Baja module ''qnet-ftp.src/bin'' in functionality.

 +===== Configure =====

 +Configured by default, ''qnet-ftp-.js'' is used as the QWK network call-out script for DOVE-Net:

 +
 +You can use ''qnet-ftp.js'' for multiple QWK networks and network hubs (not just one). This is achieved by passing the hostname or IP address of the QWK network hub on the command-line (''dove.synchro.net'' in the above example) or via the ''address'' key in the ''[qnet-ftp:hub-id]'' section of your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:modopts.ini]]'' file.
 +
 +The first argument passed to ''qnet-ftp.js'' is always the intended QWKnet hub-ID (''%s'' expands to the configured hub-id in the context of the above example).
 +
 +The second argument passed to ''qnet-ftp.js'' may be the address (hostname or IP address) of the QWKnet hub (if not specified in ''[[config:modopts.ini]]'').
 +
 +The third argument passed to ''qnet-ftp.js'' may be the QWKnet account password on the QWKnet hub (if not specified in ''[[config:modopts.ini]]'').
 +
 +The fourth argument passed to ''qnet-ftp.js'' may be the TCP port of the hub's FTP server (if non standard and not specified in ''[[config:modopts.ini]]'').
 +
 +==== modopts.ini ====
 +
 +If a ''[qnet-ftp:hub-id]'' section or ''[qnet-ftp]'' section exists in your ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:modopts.ini]]'' file, the following keys may be used for configuration settings:
 +
 +^ Key      ^ Description   ^
 +| address  | Hostname or IP address of QWKnet hub FTP server |
 +| port     | TCP control port of QWKnet hub's FTP server (default: 21) |
 +| dataport | TCP data port of  QWKnet hub's FTP server (default: 20) |
 +| password | QWKnet account password on QWKnet hub (e.g. to eliminate it from configured and logged QWKnet call-out command-line) |
 +| bindhost | Local address to bind to for active data connections (default: any) |
 +| passive  | Passive (not active) FTP (default: true) |
 +
 +A ''[qnet-ftp:hub-id]'' section takes precedence over a ''[qnet-ftp]'' section, if they both exist.
