If you mean usernames and passwords for the linux users (root, dsl, etc), there are none. You would need to create them yourself.

As for where the files should go, I suppose that's entirely up to you. It just seems to me that there must be a hundred better places than in an etc directory. This directory is typically a system directory intended for configuration files. As such, the only user that should have write access to it is root, and personal files have no place there.

My earlier question about what type of application it is has to do with how the app was installed. The app is in /opt, so I'm guessing it's probably either a uci or tar.gz mydsl extension. If it's uci, then there is NO writing to the directory no matter who you are, since the filesystem itself is read-only.

i mean username & passwords for the ftp server that i would use through my ftp.

I gussed it would be totaly up to me, although i have enabled write feature in the folder i wanted them all to be placed. so i'm currently using php to upload them, but i still ahve to delete them manually ;(

Sorry i'm totaly new to linux, It's a tar.gz

So how would i create users for betaftp & how would i start the program?

You can use existing users, just give them a password (passwd dsl) and it asks for a new password for user dsl. Then you can login as dsl.

I've never used betaftpd myself, but try starting it with "betaftpd --help" or just googling for "man betaftpd"

When i try to run sudo /usr/sbin/betaftpd
which it says http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/distros/dsl/ (bookmark it)

it just says:

information about it blah blah
bind(): Address already in use
Giving up.

now i'm running Apache aswell.Does this mean i cannot run both? i need to run both? would it not just place ftp.(myaddress)

also how would i go about adding another use i tried to log in as dsl but i cannot rember my username i tried wht i think but it says log-in failed would it b because of my wrong password or because of the apache is running and not the ftp server? is their anyway i could reset my password? i tried a range of passwords

i tried password --help but it said command not found :S

HELP !
