I'm trying to configure my ftpd so I can access the http server from another
computer.
(for uploading web pages)
According to The Complete FreeBSD
(I am a complete newby)
I need to add a line to my /etc/rc.local file
I don't have one.
I have a /etc/rc.conf
Are  they the same?
Or do I need a new file?

Next question
The line I need to add ???
echo " ftpd" && ftpd -a -D xxx.xxx.xxx
(to restrict address to only one)
(from what I gleaned from ftpd(8) of the manual)

Later,
Leon
