RE: Help: Setting up FTP server is not in the handbook... or is it?

Edit /etc/inetd.conf and comment out the FTP line. Then 'killall -HUP inetd'
to restart. You should then be able to ftp to your machine. You should 'man
ftpd' for further details on configuring ftp.

Cheers,

Barry

 Hi,
   I have a lot of files in my computer that i wanted
 to share with my friends remotely via ftp server. I'm
 currently using freebsd 4.9 and I've been repeatedly
 scanning through the handbook but I cant seem to find
 the portion about setting up an ftp server. Did I miss
 something in the handbook or its just that there isn't
 acctualy any part that tells how to do it, or maybe
 freebsd is just using a different term? Can you give a
 link perhaps which will give me a hint on setting up
 an ftp server on freebsd? 
 
 smile:)

I'm sure you meant to type uncomment here since that is what
needs to be done.
