Start the ftp daemon via the ControlPanel.

You can also start it via boot parameter "ftp". If you use lilo and a normal hd (no frugal) you can put it in the "append" line in /etc/lilo.conf and run "lilo".
Than at the next boot the ftp daemon should be started.

How do you want to use the ftp server. Anonymous logins or just 1 user.
If 1 user, you might want to add a new user with a password. Less of a security threat(no sudo).

Also be sure the other filesystem is mounted. Edit /etc/fstab.

For other options. I do not know....

HTH.,
