fissy Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 (edited) Setting up an ftp server without a router is easier than using a router. On the mandrake computer that has a direct connection to the internet, open ports 20 and 21 in your firewall. You can use wizard in the mandriva control centre. You'll also need some ftp server software, vsftpd seems to be generally considered the best. Configure it as you please using the file in /etc but do remember to make sure anonymous access is not enabled unless that is really what you want. Edit: users and passwords. With vsftpd, you can use your normal mandrake users and passwords, just add another user as you would normally with the mandriva control centre and allow local users to login using the vsftpd.conf file in /etc Edited September 10, 2005 by fissy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arctic Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 The link I provided leads to a step-by-step server setup guide with lots of pictures. If you do not understand what they write there, I suggest you start reading some books about system administration and networking. A good start would be: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/FTP.html http://www.tldp.org/guides.html http://doc.mandrivalinux.com/MandrivaLinux...onf_Guide.html/ (It is written for Mandrake 9.0 but most of the information should still be usable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
