Re: [newbie] Where is proftpd?
Stephen Kuhn said: Well, not wanting you to truly deviate from the path you've already taken, but why not do the setup and administration of ProFTP through Webmin instead of using alternative interfaces? Just asking...otherwise, if you've done a: locate gproftpd and a whereis gproftpd ...and the program STILL doesn't show up, I'd reckon there's a bit more wrong... I say: I used gproftpg just because I couldn´t find webmin. I´m very much a newbie and didn´t know where to look for it. I would appreciate if anyone could tell me where to find webmin.

I logged in as root and gproftpd worked perfectly under KDE.

[newbie] Where is proftpd?
Hi, I ran the ftp utility in the mandrake control center (mandrake9). It installed proftpd for me. Where can I find proftpd? And does it run with a GUI? If not, can I get a GUI for it?

On Tuesday 14 January 2003 11:39 am, fifner the dragon scribbled nervously: Hi, I ran the ftp utility in the mandrake control center (mandrake9). It installed proftpd for me. Where can I find proftpd? And does it run with a GUI? If not, can I get a GUI for it? Thanks in advance, Fifner 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.
