# Users report that for smbclient you should specify a directory
# followed by "/*", eg: "/proc/*", instead of just "/proc".
#
+# FTP servers are traversed recursively so excluding directories will
+# also exclude its contents. You can use the wildcard characters "*"
+# and "?" to define files for inclusion and exclusion. Both
+# attributes $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} and $Conf{BackupFilesExclude} can
+# be defined for the same share.
+#
# If a hash is used, a special key "*" means it applies to all
# shares that don't have a specific entry.

# (can be overwritten in the per-PC log file)

-# Name of the host share that is backed up when using FTP. This can be a
+# Which host directories to backup when using FTP. This can be a
# string or an array of strings if there are multiple shares per host.
-# Examples:
#
-# $Conf{FtpShareName} = 'c'; # backup 'c' share
-# $Conf{FtpShareName} = ['c', 'd']; # backup 'c' and 'd' shares
+# This value must be specified in one of two ways: either as a
+# subdirectory of the 'share root' on the server, or as the absolute
+# path of the directory.
+#
+# In the following example, if the directory /home/username is the
+# root share of the ftp server with the given username, the following
+# two values will back up the same directory:
+#
+# $Conf{FtpShareName} = 'www'; # www directory
+# $Conf{FtpShareName} = '/home/username/www'; # same directory
+#
+# Path resolution is not supported; i.e.; you may not have an ftp
+# share path defined as '../otheruser' or '~/games'.
+#
+# Multiple shares may also be specified, as with other protocols:
+#
+# $Conf{FtpShareName} = [ 'www',
+# 'bin',
+# 'config' ];
+#
+# Note also that you can also use $Conf{BackupFilesOnly} to specify
+# a specific list of directories to backup. It's more efficient to
+# use this option instead of $Conf{FtpShareName} since a new tar is
+# run for each entry in $Conf{FtpShareName}.
#
# This setting only matters if $Conf{XferMethod} = 'ftp'.
