Setting up a FTP Server (Linux)

fettouhi · 07-28-2003, 03:33 AM

I was going to set up a Linux FTP server. So I was wondering which Linux distribution would be best for that, or are all distributions good for that. Or is there a distribution that is better for that then the others. All opinions are welcome.

Kind Regards

One is just as good as the next

Make sure your distro (during install) puts the development tools on your system (gCC and such) so you can compile applications if you need to.

Well, thinkin about it for a second, you'd probably also wanna look for security specialized distros if you are going to be using things like FTP on your box.

Read through this thread:

Find a distro that matches a lot of those requirements (most will have SOME security, see if you can find the one with the most..) and I'd suggest to attempt to use that

Cool
