Hi,

I am currently working on a Embedded system (linux 2.6.24) and need to set a ftp daemon on it.
I have the busybox v1.4.2 on it but it don't have ftpd on it.
After searching on internet i find tons of way to install a ftp daemon on normal linux computer but no explanation on how to do it on an Embedded devive.
I am not the one who installed the distro and busybox, i have no knowledge on how to make this. I have no sudo/apt-get/make command on my system.

Well typically the answer would be that you use the same build environment you used to build the distro to build an ftp server for it as well. If you don't have the original cross-compilation build system and you don't have any kind of build system on the device itself, I don't think there's much you can do.

What's the device, if you don't mind me asking?

I have the distro file and the cross-compilation system on a computer but then i don't really know what to do to set it up.

The device is a sbc6000x.

Hello,

Try uFTP server, is a very smooth basic FTP server developed for embedded devices in C seems to be what you are looking for.
