FTPServer Telegram connector

Register bot

Read about telegram bots at https://core.telegram.org/bots/tutorial.

Bots are not allowed to contact users. You need to make the first contact from the user for which you want to set up the bot.

Quick start

• Create a bot with @BotFather, let's say with username my_ftp_bot
• Get bot token from BotFather's response, use it as Token in config
• Get bot id by run curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getMe
• Find @my_ftp_bot in telegram and start chat with it
• Send /start to bot
• Run curl https://api.telegram.org/bot<YOUR_BOT_TOKEN>/getUpdates and find your chat id in response, use it as ChatID in config

Config example

Please note about shared flag. If it's true then bot instance will be shared between all connections. If it's false then each user (or even each ftp connection) will have own bot instance and it can lead to telegram bot flood protection.
