It depends. Do you want to setup anonymous ftp, allowing anyone to use the server, or only allow access to those with user accounts on your machine? Or both? If all you want is restricted, user account access, there's really nothing to it. Just make sure the ftp entry in /etc/inetd.conf is not commented out. Inetd will automatically spawn a server process whenever someone tries to connect. Anonymous ftp is slightly more involved. The simplest way to set this up is via /stand/sysinstall. -- Conrad Sabatier http://members.home.net/conrads/ ICQ# 1147270 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
