Hi Pekka,
I guess, you know it the best: to setup the path and the ftp a lot of users have troubles (including me).

Although you have some good description and some examples, users have some troubles.

How can this be avoided?
When this cannot be created automatically, for me would help most some real examples from users.
Because then I have a good chance to find an example what is very near to mine and I can then try to make the same as in this example.

I know of course, systems are very different, but could there not be some easier solution?

Thanks!
Markus

I did one attempt of a manual page:

I know of course, systems are very different, but could there not be some easier solution?

In a word, no. If I make wizards without knowing all parameters (all servers are different) it will just add to confusion. And as soon as you start doing multiserver systems and more complex path systems simplification is in way.

Hopefully the manual page explains things. I'm always here to answer questions.
