## Step by Step Guide to Set up config
> For feature development purpose, any configuration is **unstable** at the current stage. You may need to reconfigure following any update.
### Automatically:
A config file will be auto-generated when you run the program for the first time. Just follow the instructions to create a Telegram app and a private channel to store the files.
### Manually:
#### Preparation
1. Duplicate the `example-config.yaml` file and name it `config.yaml`
#### Set up account details ([why do I need this?](#FAQ))
1. Go to [Here](https://my.telegram.org/apps), login with your phone number and create a Telegram app.
2. Copy the `api_id` and `api_hash` from the Telegram app page (step 2) to the config file (`telegram -> account -> api_id / api_hash`)
#### Set up the channel to store files
1. Create a new Telegram private channel (New Channel in the menu on the left)
2. There should be a message like "Channel created". Right click the message and copy the post link.
3. The format of the link should be like `https://t.me/c/1234567/1`, where `1234567` is the channel id. Copy the channel id to the config file (`telegram -> private_file_channel`)
#### Set up a Telegram bot ([why do I need this?](#FAQ))
1. Go to [BotFather](https://telegram.me/BotFather), send `/newbot`, and follow the steps to create a bot.
2. Paste the bot token given by BotFater to the config file (`telegram -> bot -> token`)
3. Go to your file channel (created in the previous step), add your bot to subscriber, and promote it to admin, with permission to send/edit/delete messages.
## Config fields explanation
- telegram
- account/bot:
- session_file: The file path to store the session data. If you want to use multiple accounts, you can set different session files for each account.
- login_timeout: Time to wait before login attempt aborts (in milliseconds).
- tgfs
- users: the users authenticated by tgfs, used by both webdav authentication and monitor
- download
- chunk_size_kb: The chunk size in KB when downloading files. Bigger chunk size means less requests.
- webdav
- host: The host of the WebDAV server listening on.
- port: The port of the WebDAV server listening on.
- path: The root path for the WebDAV server. For example, setting this value to /webdav makes the WebDAV link `http://[host]:[port]/webdav`.
## FAQ
**Q: Why do I need a bot when my account is also able to send messages?**
Frequently sending messages may get your account banned, so using a bot is the best way to manage the risk. You can create another bot when it is banned.
**Q: Why do I need an account API then?**
The functionality of bot API is limited. For example, a bot can neither read history messages, nor send files exceeding 50MB. The account API is used when a bot cannot do the job.
