How do I use my FTP server

zwyrbla · 09-29-2004, 11:09 PM

I enabled the ftp server on my slack 10 installation but I have no idea how to use it. Like how could someone connect form another computer and how would they navigate it and where on my computer are the files for the server stored? and help would be great thanks.

See /etc/proftpd.conf
The files are in /home/ftp

To connect from another computer
ftp your_ip_address

This post on linuxquestions.org should help you out:

Proftpd is included if you chose to install it. Go to the command line and type

whereis proftpd

In general, open the port in /etc/inetd.conf by uncommenting the line.
Edit the configuration script in /etc/proftpd.conf

There is more to it than that but this should help get you going. Visit http://www.proftpd.org/ for specific documents and help.

Another user would connect via your IP address.
