Re: [FreeBSD] Ftp Server
Sounds OK, but I am a complete newby.. I couldn't find anything in the book I have about that. This set up is on a local network, no access outside the network. I'm trying to set up a testing server. And need to access it from within the network to publish webpages Please point me in the right direction Thanx Leon Set the user's home directory (of the user you want to transfer the data with) to that directory. Of course, you need write rights there. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: [FreeBSD] Ftp Server
I do not quite see the problem. Are you running your FTP program on a Windows PC trying to access the ftp server on the FreeBSD PC? If that is the case you use the FTP program (I use CuteFTP or WS_FTP) on the Windows PC to navigate to the desired folder on the FreeBSD PC Then you will be able to download most files to your Windows PC. But what you can upload will depend upon permissions and what user you logged in as. Kjell It won't let me above the default FTP folder. I use Dreamwever, but I tried with Front page, and WS_FTP, and none could get above the default folder. I've been reading my book, and the FTP(8) man pages, maybe I need to run the FTPD utility. Apparently it is sent up only as anonymous FTP... I never askes for a user name or password. PS I meant to say I installed PHP with OUT any trouble.
