Hey there, I have been trying to setup an ftp server on my Knoppix 3.2 machine, however I have not had a lot of success. All I have been able to find and TRY to run have been ftp clients. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to properly install and run a good ftp server, preferably with sftp capability? Thanks Michael R. Bright
There is no such thing as a "good" ftp server, IMNSHO. There's only less ugle, less crackable ftp servers.
I'm pretty sure that you'll not be able to find an ftp server that speaks sftp. Just install the openssh server package.
As far as I'm concerned: http for anonymous download, sftp for authenticated upload, non-authenticated upload is generally a bad idea.
I totally agree with this.
Actually there used to be a standalone sftp server, before OpenSSH finished theirs. FTP is a terribly ugly protocol. I use ProFTPd though, when I have to.
