Usually I chouse to make my own mind up, but man there is so match to
read on all this if I don't get help I will be never done.
Also usually I like to get the best, so I was thinking proftp at first.

But I need something basic easy to config., something I don't have to
read two books on before I can get going.
Don't need anonymous
I like X config stuff if there is something

Which is the right ftp server for me?

proftpd. The basic 'default' configuration works like a charme.
There's nothing to set up, unless you have special wishes.

agreed,
and proftpd is the one i trust, and do all the logging into a mysql, and
do transfer ratio and user management(phpsetupped all).
proftpd is as good for the basic as for advanced use.

Hi Gruessle,
I think you mean ftp CLIENT. it is not advisable to setup an ftp server
on a linux machine in most cases. The main reason is the ftp is an
unencryped protocol -- everyone can read your password and any data you
send. ssh and sftp are used in its place. BUT if you want to connect to
any ftp server, then something like proftp is a nice console client.
And I'm sure othere can recommend some GUI ftp clients.

None, especially if you don't need anonymous access. Use scp to copy
files to and from your machine (part of the ssh package, which
includes a server). It's more firewall-friendly than FTP and doesn't
involve sending your password over the network in the clear.

furthermore, if you are accessing your linux box from a windblows
machine, teraterm w/ tssh (using kermit/gkermit) and win2scp are
good clients to run on the windblows machine to access files via
ssh.

From: David Z Maze [mailto:dmaze@debian.org]

None seams to be the right answer.
I just checked Dreamweaver and I can use it on a local network also.
Then I checked my Network and I can see my Debian box with Samba.
When I click on it, it asks me for a password, but my user password does
not work, I even tried root and it does not work.
So I guess all I need is to setup Samba to accept passwords.
What do you guys say?
How do I do that? Is there a HOWTO somewhere?

smbpasswd should let you add passwords for samba ... use as su.

This is not really important in all applications. There are many
applications where you want people to download files easily and
anonymous ftp is pretty good.

Also you can use pam to tell the ftp server not to use system
passwords but look up passwords in a seperate file or in a mysql
database, etc. Bijan --
