How do I configure my MDK10 box to allow others FTP access? Is FTP part

I'll give you a command-line answer, I'm sure there are GUIs to do the
same...
inetd is not used anymore, it has been super seeded by xinetd. The ftp
server (for example proftpd, but there are others) is not normally
installed by default.
1. install proftpd package
2. edit /etc/proftpd.conf and set 'Server type' to 'inetd'
3. edit /etc/xinetd.d/proftpd-xinetd and set 'disable' to 'no'
4. restart xinetd (not sure it is necessary)
You should now be able to ftp to your box and login with your
username/password. I have also defined a 'guest' account with its own
directory to share files with remote sites.
If you have a firewall running, you also need to open the ftp server
port. For Shorewall, it should be sufficient to add something like:
# ftp server
ACCEPT net fw tcp ftp
in the /etc/shorewall/rules file.
