WAR-FTPD is a server that will work with a Linux install, unlike microsoft ftp servers which only have a subset of the FTP command set. It is free and can be found at http://www.jgaa.com/ Now I can install Linux from my window workstation w/o having to bother the UNIX group to mount my CD on one of their FTP servers.
Chapter 5, page 23 (Making the installation data available via FTP) describes the need for it. It works well, in fact I'm replacing my current FTP server with WAR-FTPD.

What is WAR-FTPD? FTPD I know, but WAR is unfamiliar to me.

>>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 02/24/03 04:56PM >>> Okay...... solved my space problem. I'm doing an FTP install using WAR-FTPD. I set the max users on the ftp server to 5 to be safe?. The install logs on at least 24 times without logging off. Go figure. I set the max users to 4000. Anyway.... now I can see all the packages and it says I have enough room. Another tip for WAR-FTPD users is to set the file access alias to /cdrom so the install can find it.
