Fifner, the answers to your questions are in order of appearance: runs as a service - it is an FTP server: service proftpd start|stop|restart| no... no... I'm wondering though...from your post it sounds as though you understood Proftpd to be a client that would allow you to transfer files? is this correct? If so...that is not the case. Proftpd is an FTP server and will allow "others" to upload/download files to/from your machine. Once it's correctly configured that is... If all you really wanted was a client program with which you could download/transfer files from your computer to other computers then gFTP does a nice job and is very likeyly already on your system. In the event that you did indeed mean to install an FTP server on your computer, then why eat hamburg when you can just as readily eat steak? and very good steak at that. ( Pure-FTPd ) IT's much more secure and a bit less work to get setup and running. But...to each his own... -- Mark ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Powered By Mandrake Liinux 9.0 || Toshiba Portege ICQ# 27816299 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Saying Open Source DRM is the same as saying Military Intelligence.
