Well I did what you said and got it reinstalled. I installed everything that came up when I searched for proftp, but there's still no "server section" in the control center. I installed gproftpd, but it only works for standalone, and I'd prefer to run it via xinetd (Which is the default setup.) I've found enough howto's that I might be able to dig and and config it manually via the /etc/proftpd.conf file... maybe :-P. One plus: I know the server works now. lol; in konqueror when I go to ftp://[mydomain] it logs in and gives me an empty directory with a pub folder... it's a start. Anyway, do you know the package for the proftp server config module you mentioned? Thanx, SigmaChi -- Registered Linux user #366862 Not that you care, but this message was sent from a 750MHz Athlon system running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.4) and KMail 1.62. I aslo run Red Hat Linux 8.0 (Kernal 2.4.18), Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.2.20), Mandrake Linux 9.2 (Kernal 2.4.22), and YellowDog Linux 3.0 (Kernal 2.4.20) on various systems and architectures for various reasons. Yeah, and there's a old Mac OS in there somewhere that I use as a bootloader for Linux, and a Windows XP box used as a router for my Linux-based network, but they don't count, 'cuz they aren't "real" OS's. Who me? Biased? Nah!
