Hi... how does one configure BetaFTPd.. The authors "BetaFTPd" page show very little info. I have Damn Small Linux installed on Hard drive The docs say to edit the "BetaFTPd.user" file but I've failed on finding an example on how-to or the location of the file GLOBAL_ROOT_DIR? When I try and login I get a 530 error for password.. Or should I use a different program for a FTP Server maybe with a GUI (probably a bad word) :-) I've used Linux for a very short time after many-many years using MS DOS & Windows 9x/XP. My aim is to create a Box that runs an Static FTP Server - with users + paths And also a Samba file server for MS Windows Workgroups. Maybe a print server. Would like to create a box that does basically the same as some of the commercial (NAS) network attached storage devices. (which are basically a cut down linux core on flash with a WEB configuration page). I would like to get away from the 5 / 10 User limit of Windows XP using peer to peer networking. < http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb;en-us;314882 > Another few questions I have are.. How does one disable Power Saving that kicks in and disable the display after a few mins. When running off Hard Drive should the installation have a Linux Swap partition? If so how? Or has some one already completed such a project.. Ta |
