Access by Name to VS-ftpd using Local Network!


Hello !

I searched to find out "how to access the sites by name from your own network?".I found the following solution:

"The answer to how to access the sites by name depends on whether you are trying to access them from the web or from your own network. If you only want to access them from your own network, you need only configure the 'hosts' file (no extension) on each PC to 'map' the domain name to the IP address of the machine corresponding to that doamin name. in simple terms, you can view the hosts file as a 'private DNS server' if you like. This file exists on both Windows and *nix operating systems, although of course the path to the file will be different. Just search your OS file directories for "hosts"."

Can anyone help me with this in linux?....I want to access my VS-ftpd using name.....plz give me an example of making an entry to the file...if possible.

Do some research at least.
