is there any linux distro that can do this?
Is there a disrto that can do this, or maybe apps that i would be able to install to be able to do this?
To run an HTTP, FTP server on the net, to act a router, ip forwarder and firewall.... The ADSL modem is crappy BT voyager one, is there any support for this.... thanks forany help, most appreciated :D |
Well considering Linux can do all of that, yes, I'm sure all of the distros can do all of that as well.

Setup your server first, setup your firewall and most likely then set it up as a router. Then setup either FTP and then httpd in any order. There are tons of documentation out there like at: www.tldp.org You should at least start it, run into any specific problems in setting up or don't understand something specific, then ask. Regards. |
You might want to check out webmin as well, as it us a nice browser-based GUI helper for setting up these kinds of things.

I think that what is usually done, is to have one computer function as a firewall/router. This computer will then direct ftp or web traffic to a computer in the lan network running these servers. The firewall computer doesn't have to be a very powerful computer but is set up to be very secure. There are several books on linux networking and security that you might want to read before you operate internet exposed services.
