slackware ftp
 

well im looking for the ftp server on slackware, but i cant find it, and im trying to upload some document, and theres not ftp folder, can someone tell me how i could get the ftp to work or some source so i can put the document on the index.html file and then open it from somewhere else with the same settings i have right now[font size, spacing and such]
any help is really appreciated thanx

Slackwares ftp user directory is /home/ftp.

yea after posting this, i found it, and i put some files in it, but when trying to acces ftp://<my ip/local> it didnt work, and i was trying to check something to turn the server on, but it replied it cant stand alone, needs to be started with inetd, how can i do that?

Do you want to upload a file to a remote ftp server or run a local ftp server. If you just want to upload a file type

ftp
open ftp.site.whatever
name anonymous
passwd emal address

once logged on use these cmds to move around

pwd
ls
cd

those cmds work like in a normal terminal
once you get to the directory with the file you want to download/upload

put uploads file
get downloads file
quit

dont like commandline ftp install gftp its on the slack cd

i want to just bring it up, so i can access it from other places, but i dont know how to acces it from another computer, isnt it suppossed to be ftp://hostname ?? because ive tried, and it doesnt work

check one entry of /etc/inetd.conf and copy/customize for your ftp server in that file.

oot@virtz:~# /etc/inetd.conf
-bash: /etc/inetd.conf: Permission denied

Are you logged in as root?

Might be a silly question, can you ping the IP address you are trying to connect too?
