I'm pretty new to running my own server. I've been using a hosting company for years and thought it's about time to learn. I'm used to taking the ftp hostname, username and login they give and going for it. Why is it a bad idea to ftp directly to your root folder. I'm not doubting you, I just like to know why I do things. I've never used chrooted ftp but I'll look into it. I want to do things the right way. Thanks for the tip on apache. I'll stick with the production version. On Thursday, April 24, 2003, at 07:32 PM, <romero3000@romero3000.com> wrote: > Any particular reason you are running apache2????
