You can learn about installing and using FreeBSD by reading the online handbook at: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html Chapter 23 has sections for both FTP and Apache Web Server. Other good, online resources include: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/ct/15 http://www.freebsddiary.org/topics.php > > Second, is it possible for me to use one hard drive and use it as a > ftp server, and while using a secondary hard drive as a webserver for > my niece on one computer? Yes, you can put ftp accessible areas and web pages on separate hard drives. This may get a little complicated if you're allowing users to both ftp to/from their home directories and have personal web pages in a public folder within their home directories. > > Sincerely, > > Tri > Best of luck, Andrew Gould
