It basically the same answer that was given for starting the monkey server... I think the cheat code if "ftp". I don't have it right in front of me... but go to the main webpage... www.damnsmalllinux.org and then select on the WIKI link. Then look for the "cheat codes" entry. Or boot DSL from the live CD and hit F2, I'm pretty sure it lists them there.

If that doesn't work edit /opt/bootlocal.sh to have the command to start the server.

yes, i have the /opt/bootlocal.sh command for monkey web server, but i need the /opt/bootlocal.sh for autostarting Beta-FTP. I have an ftp client I know that I can ftp with, i just need to know how to autostart the daemon in /opt/bootlocal.sh so I can auto power-on the server and have the ftp allready running.

NewOldUser provided the answer in his post. Add 'ftp' to the append line in lilo or grub or as a cheatcode like 'dsl ftp' if booting with a live cd

Good luck

all i need is the command to start it in opt/bootlocal.sh. i am not running off the live cd. its off the hard drive install. ALL I NEED IS THE OPT/BOOTLOCAL.SH COMMAND.

/usr/sbin/betaftpd

If there is an application that can be run from the fluxbox menu, you can find its command in /home/dsl/.fluxbox/menu.
The syntax is [exec] (label) {command}, so using the {command} section is what you want. In the case of betaftp, the command starts with "sudo". This is not necessary when starting the app from bootlocal.

Thank you, i run the command "/usr/sbin/betaftpd start" in /opt/bootlocal.sh and it works perfectly. Thank you. now i can run my own web servefr and let my friends have accounts on their too. Thanks again.
