Step 1. Replace the operating system on the server (Windows Server 2003) with FreeBSD 6.2.
During the installation, select the option to activate inetd and uncomment the ftp line
in /etc/inetd.conf.
Step 2. Login as root and create your users using the command 'adduser'.
Step 3. Using a text editor, such as vi, create the file /etc/ftpchroot and add each user name on
its own line.
Best of luck,
Andrew L. Gould
