Configure ftp

[benny666]

how do I configure ftp sach that I will be able to log on and upload files from a win 98 to a Red Hat 7.0 linux server

Linux server, use proftpd. www.proftpd.org <-- has some real good FAQs and step by step setup. Then from windows use whatever client u like

PS, if its a local network, why not use Samba?

I have been stumbling with samba and I downloaded the last version from the net only It is on my windows mechine and I wanted to trasfer it to the linux mechine to install it

Thanks!

Once you get samba, use SWAT or Webmin to help you configure it. Alot easier with the web-based tool than fiddling with text configs. Good luck!

Fine. What the above posters said were all related to that one too. It's just a matter of different types.

Yes. you can.

Grab one of the book here, http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7-Manual/ , and start reading concerning about how to go about it for what you want. Many of us use different version of Linux so we have different approach to this. Depending on the version of FTP server it comes with it, the steps may differ. Those documents will get you going in no time.....

HTH....
