Hi, You need to install the appropriate Debian packages. It looks like you haven't done this yet. The packages are called nfs-server (or nfs-kernel-server if you prefer to use the kernel-space one - probably the user-space one (nfs-server) is easier) and there are several FTP servers, for instance wu-ftpd and proftpd. Install them from dselect, or, if you have apt set up properly, run apt-get install nfs-server proftpd (e.g. if you want proftpd). Hope that helps... good luck anyway. - Daniel -- ****************************************************************************** * Daniel Franklin - Postgraduate student in Electrical Engineering * University of Wollongong, NSW, Australia * [EMAIL PROTECTED] ******************************************************************************
