Linux FTP help

wmorri · 06-04-2008, 05:44 PM

I am looking at turning my linux desktop(ubuntu) into a FTP server. I am wondering whether i should just download a regular Linux FTP server software, and run that and get to know it, or get a different software. I would need a piece of software that would allow other people then those on my network to have read/write access to the server. As well as just some that have read access.

Cheers!

Not a Fan of Ubuntu, But i do believe there is a Server version of this Distro, all be it without a Xserver

I'm not sure I'd pick Ubuntu for your server, but that's just my opinion...
