Oops... I am sorry for posting the subject incorrectly. So here we go This may seem redundant but I need the solution to my problem and any feedback will be appreciated. I am want to set up an FTP only server on my desktop computer's linux partition so that I can share files with my friends as I used to in windows using Serv U. I don't intend to use this computer as a server for any other type of protocol such as HTTP, etc. I have the wu-ftp daemon (wu-ftpd) installed on my Red Hat 7.2 partition. Now here is my problem. How do I setup user a/cs for my FTP server. I know the answer to this is rather easy but despite hours of scratching my head over it, I am not able to do it.....dunno why.....also, wu-ftpd does not load on start up....{or so I think}...thanx in advance... Orcaa !!
