Remember, this thing was donated to me through a company and since they got it the things out dated. I mean the system was apparently made in the thirteenth week of 2000. This is also why I said I can't get help through means of upgrading to Leopard. It's only 500mhz. Someone suggested I got ncftpd, but that thing seems even more tricky than what comes with Tiger, by far. Of corse it would make since to that guy. He's a programmer. I want want a symple way to host an ftp server for people so that they can upload there web sites to apache which I very successfully have set up. I really don't think that is too much to ask. Not trying to be defensive, but...
