You might start by using the ftpd that ships with FreeBSD-- see "man ftpd" for how to configure it. Most people would find that or proftpd to be fine, but there are slightly over 100 FTP-related programs available under /usr/ports/ftp if you want to look at others. One of the BSD ships with lukembsd, I think, and ncftpd is reasonable, too. > Also, how do you get Apache to point to a specific > directory?

The DocumentRoot directive in httpd.conf, possibly located at /usr/local/etc/apache/httpd.conf? Or use symlinks and set "Options FollowSymLinks". Using the NameVirtualHost and VirtualHost directives. ...and yes, respectively. [ If you're not sure where the apache config file is, use the locate command to find it. The file is intended to be self-documenting, so search for the terms above and change those sections appropriately. There's also a manual in the default Apache document root or at www.apache.org. ] -- -Chuck
