XxMaNsOnX Posted January 5, 2002 Share Posted January 5, 2002 While I'm not to familiar with Mandrake (I'm a Debian, RedHat, or Linux from scratch person myself) I believe it includes wu-ftpd by default. It's enabled in xinetd, which SHOULD be in /etc/xinetd.dIf wu-ftpd isnt installed, just install it with: rpm -Uvh /path/to/wu-ftpd*.rpmThen make sure xinetd is running, which it should be by default.I'm not sure if Mandrakes package has anonymous access enabled by default, it should. Where it puts the anonymous files I'm not too sure, but it's likely in /var/ftpWhew, that was difficult going so long without bad mouthing Mandrake. Post more info or a specific problem and I can help out more specifically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aKaFrEE Posted January 6, 2002 Author Share Posted January 6, 2002 thanks for the help...im new to the linux scene and i heard mandrake was easy to use so i figured ide give it a try....it comes with PROftpd 1.2.2 enabled by default...i got that working and went to edit the config file and change the port used to login and it stopped working...i reset everything back to default and still no luck...i might disable it and try installing the one you were talkin about if i cant fix this....thanks for the help....

FthrJACK Posted January 6, 2002 Share Posted January 6, 2002 i think just about everyone running their own ftp servers around here use serv-u or bulletproof FTP on a windows system... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
