First, i want to thank everyone (especially shilo) for creating the wonderful walkthroughs and other help for creating a LAMP (check out my newly learned linux lingo) server. I've followed Shilo's, and other's info to create a server on an old P233 with 64 megs of ram.

Anyway, i have the little server running, and i'm able to put pages into the directory via copying from my 98 based machine running dreamweaver, through samba then cp 'ing to the proper directory on the server ( /var/www/htdocs ).

I just need to figure out how i can set up Dreamweaver to connect to this server...... or actually,,, I was thinking of installing Frontpage extensions, launching fp98 and uploading the webpages like that.

So, what i need to know,,,,

How do i set up the user that will need to login through frontpage when it connects to my server (10.5.10.10).

or,,

Dreamweaver will not connect properly because i don't know how to do the following...
::: Setup FTP so it can connect directly to the /var/www/htdocs directory.
::: setup RDS (Remote Development Service) on this server.

Before this, i've used appliances which always had "webmaster" or "Admin" built in... Or i've been forced to use Win2k for creating servers. I really want to use linux for this, and so far it's looking good if i can just figure this out.

Thanks so much.

You don't need samba if you use ftp. (I recommend you to install vsftp as it's the new default ftp server in Slack.)
If you want to use samba, just make sure that /var/www/htdocs is shared.

I'm slowly getting this thing to work.

I have the main site setup thanks to lots of the wonderful people who post on this.

I've just used the default ftp program in Slackware, but i'll read up on, and change to vsftp.

Wow, Linux is cool.... i've been using Vector on a laptop to keep my PDA up to date, but i have never tried creating a pure command line machine before. This has been a wonderful trip thanks to the people of this forum.
