Installation
============

You should make sure all the functions from the Functions/Zftp
directory of the source distribution are available; they all begin with
the two letters `zf'.  They may already have been installed on your
system; otherwise, you will need to find them and copy them.  The
directory should appear as one of the elements of the $fpath array
(this should already be the case if they were installed), and at least
the function zfinit should be autoloaded; it will autoload the rest.
Finally, to initialize the use of the system you need to call the
zfinit function.  The following code in your .zshrc will arrange for
this; assume the functions are stored in the directory ~/myfns:

     fpath=(~/myfns $fpath)
     autoload -U zfinit
     zfinit

Note that zfinit assumes you are using the zmodload method to load the
zftp command.  If it is already built into the shell, change zfinit to
zfinit -n.  It is helpful (though not essential) if the call to zfinit
appears after any code to initialize the new completion system, else
unnecessary compctl commands will be given.
