I've installed the free Mandriva 2006 and marked the FTP option on the installtion. What FTP server is provided with this release? How can I start the FTP server and configure it? Where can I find documentation about it? Thanks, David.

The full powerpack installs 'proftpd', but you can still download and install it (allow with proftpd-anonymous, if you want anonymous ftp) from any Mandriva mirror. ie: ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/Mandriva/official/2006.0/i586/media/main/proftpd-1.2.10-13mdk.i586.rpm ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distributions/Mandriva/official/2006.0/i586/media/main/proftpd-anonymous-1.2.10-13mdk.i586.rpm As a note, using http://easyurpmi.zarb.org to add online repositories would give you access to any software that was not included on the CDs (usually due to space issues). If I have misread you issue, and you have the PowerPack, you should be able to start the FTP server with '/etc/rc.d/init.d/proftpd start'. You can configure it with '/etc/proftpd.conf' ---------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
