Creating Tables for Your ODBC Data Source
You must create two tables in the database for your data source. Scripts are provided that will create the necessary tables.
If users receive an error saying they are not logged in, make sure the "anonymous" row in the "ftpserver_users" table is set to "0" or "1"; it cannot be set to "Null".
The ftpserver_users table lists the user accounts and permissions groups in the Site. A user account uses the information from all fields. A permission group uses only the ID, Name, and Description fields and is used only for organizational purposes, not as a user login.
