Rick,

That depends.  What exactly are you trying to do?  There's document on
Apache and wu-ftpd, if you're trying to set up web and ftp servers on a
basic Linux installation.  There are also some alternative ftp server
packages like ProFTPD (http://www.proftpd.org/) you might want to look into
instead of just using wu-ftpd, although since it's wu-ftpd is already
installed (at least as an option) on most distributions you probably already
have it and just need to know how to configure and use it.

Documentation on Apache is available at http://www.apache.org/docs/, and
there are several books out there which you might want to look into if the
online documentation isn't sufficiently clear to you.  If you're running Red
Hat, you may be able to get by with the basic configuration that comes with
the system if you're not trying to do anything fancy.  You'd just need to
edit/create documents under /home/httpd/html or ~/public_html to create your
web pages.

On the FTP side take a look at
http://www.landfield.com/wu-ftpd/wu-ftpd.html.  O'Reilly's "TCP/IP Network
Administration" (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/tcp2/) has a section
covering how to set up anonymous FTP which probably touches on wu-ftpd, but
I'm not sure how useful it is offhand.  I can try to find our copy and look
at it if you really want, or someone else on the list could probably do the
same (or recommend something better).
