Hello list: Sorry for my last posting not being overly clear. I guess I should try too do one thing at a time. This will be a low user traffic FTP server. For this, I need to know which FTP server come standard with Red Hat 9, where the configuration files are stored, I looked in /var/FTP, nothing except pub, where I can find some comprehensive help on beginning a basic FTP server configuration and commands to know to stop, start and so on. perhaps someone might know of a much nicer FTP server to use if the standard Red Hat 9 FTP server is not the best for newbies. Thanks to all: Michael
