RE: [UUG/MLUG] howto?

["Buford, Rick" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I am burning Slackware 7.0 to CD right now...I'm gonna try to switch over
from RH6.1 now that I have a clue (albeit a small one) about how to get
around the fs and do some configuration...

   |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).
