Or you can do it the Redhat way, rpm -qa |grep ftp # list installed packages with ftp in the name list output, you should have at least wu-ftpd and anonftp. in your case you probably do not have anonftp installed. install this and it will set up your /home/ftp tree. from the /mnt/cdrom/Redhat/RPMS tree ls -al |grep ftp #list rpm packages with ftp in the name rpm -i anonftp-2.8-1.i386.rpm #install rpm package You should now have you /home/ftp tree. You should also check out http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHSA1999043-01.html for security issues regarding wu-ftpd. Greg Keto Victor Tsaran wrote: > > OK, guys!
