Thanx, SigmaX It's not impossible, it has been done, but I really wouldn't recommend it. It's far from trivial, as there have been major changes. There's the 2.6 kernels instead of 2.4 and udev instead of devfs, for a start - and they are *big* changes, affecting almost everything.

Re: [newbie] ftp server local install
Hi guys; can any one desribe me in detail how i can do an ftp server install for the mdk 10 ? i don't have a cd bunner and want to use my adsl internet connection on a windows partition to perform an ftp server install... thanks for helping me to get to the Linux Magnificient world ;-) I do not understand this. An adsl connection on your windows partition?? When you do an ftp install you boot up your computer with a linux boot disk, and you must have internet connection at that point. Is that possible in your setup? Hans-Cees Hans-cees Speel @ http://www.hanscees.com Trees @ http://www.bomengids.nl Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

The instructions in my other reply should do fine, and you can Google for more information if you feel you need it. I'm still using 9.1 and 9.2 because of some hardware issues with the 2.6 kernel. Remember, 2.6 is on the cutting edge--it is new, and there are still some things that need to be worked out. A lot of people have no problems whatsoever, but some do. e Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com Join the Club : http://www.mandrakeclub.com

For you it is probably /dev/hda or /dev/hda1 (remember, Linux looks at partitions differently than Windows, the first partition on the first hd would be hda1, the second, hda2, etc, and the first on the second disk would be hdb1, etc. Then it will ask for the Path to Mandrake, which could be /dev/hda1/windows/downloads/Mandrake or whatever. Be sure all your disks are located in the same directory. Mine is (keep in mind Linux, not on a Win partition on /dev/hda8) Hopefully, you won't run into any permission problems with your install files, and it will go from there. And, defrag Windows before you begin, because you will be resizing existing partitions during the install, I assume.

Usually, a good ftp client has the possibility to set the startup folder when you use a specific account or login-profile. Cute-ftp is one of the clients where you can store this information (remote folder). I think it's not really necessary to adjust the ftpd config on your server for that.

How does one do an installation without either of those. Well thanks to some enterprising young cookers, We have figured out how to boot the installer from the LILO or GrUB menu. Extract the necessary files from the appropriate floppy image. To do this, mount the floppy image as a loopback device in your tmp directory and then copy the appropriate files to your boot directory. cd /path/to/hd.img mount -t vfat hd.img ~/tmp/ -o loop=/dev/loop3 cp ~/tmp/vmlinuz /boot/vmlinuz-hdimg cp ~/tmp/hd.rdz /boot umount ~/tmp Make an entry in /etc/lilo.conf if you use LILO or /boot/grub/menu.lst if you use GrUB Example entry for LILO bootloader image=/boot/vmlinuz-hdimg label=hd-install root=/dev/ram3 initrd=/boot/hd.rdz append=ramdisk_size=32000 vga=791 read-only As always, after you have finished editing /etc/lilo.conf, you need to run /sbin/lilo before your changes take effect.

Good luck, HarM Yep I would second that. FTP sends user names and passwords in plain text, so anyone who can capture your log in will own your box. That is why ftp severs usually run 'chroot' so they can only access specific folders on the host. To use ssh all you have to do is install the ssh-server RPM and it will run. You can then access your computer using ssh or sftp protocols. If you need an ssh client for Windows try puTTY http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ A very good ssh/sftp client for Linux is konqueror. Just type fish://host_name/folder in the url line of konqueror and you can access a remote folder as if it were local. (Prior to 9.2 install the kio_fish RPM) You can make access to ssh/sftp *totally* secure by generating security keys so only specific computers can log in.

Re: [newbie] FTP Mandrake 9.0
before they can log on to only there folders/files and not be able to see other users folders/files The approach I'd take on something like this would be to use what is called a chroot jail coupled with ssh/scp for access since that's far safer than simple ftp. That way they can operate in their environment with a regular shell, but the chroot will keep them from going into other directories besised their own. chroot effectively puts the new root == their own home directory and they shouldn't be able to go up in the tree to traverse to other files or directories. Just give them regular home directories using those restrictions. Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com =_1047409061-937-1611-- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Zane Minninger Just create user as normal, but for login shell, specify /sbin/nologin. For home directory, I specify /nohome and don't give the user access.

Do you have another machine that could function as an NFS server? That's what I did to get 8.2 installed on a similar laptop (150 mHz, 40mb RAM, 5gb HD). FTP/HTTP simply aren't available for any version I looked at if you have less that 48mb RAM. 8.2 runs ok on the machine, but I'd recommend avoiding KDE and Gnome as they're incredibly slow -- if you need a GUI go with something lighter. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Stephen Kuhn Sent: Friday, January 10, 2003 7:59 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] FTP/Http Install problems - Mandrake memory hungrymonster On Sat, 2003-01-11 at 14:22, Gareth Hastings wrote: I have a oldish laptop, its a digital HiNote VP (so yes its old) - P133Mhz with 32Mb ram and a 4gb disk.

John The RC3 iso's are a cooker snapshot as of late last Fri (Sat. in Europe). 'RC3' was reported on the install screen then. I don't know why they took so long to put 'em up unless they at first weren't going to. There's been some significant problems that appeared late, and a chunk of updated rpms yesterday. So rather than going Final mid week it'll probly be Fri. or Sat. with the announcement and release iso's comin next Mon. At least that's my take of the discussion/activity on the cooker list. 'Course it depends on whether the current updates fix the problems. BTW, IME, ftp.nluug.nl is fairly reliable, but often lags a day or even two behind the primary mirror, sunsite. This is a good thing when some rpms are gettin updated 4 or 5 times a day as was the case for example with kdebase recently. Now that the updates have settled down (ie, one a day per updated rpm), you might wanna switch to a more current mirror. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

I'm running mdk8.2. I HAD my ftp server running OK last night. I came to
ftp into the linux box this morning, no joy. I get a 421 Service not
available error when trying to connect. I get the same result trying to
ftp into the linux box, from the linux box.
The server type is set to inetd in proftpd.conf,
This is my proftpd-xinet file from xinetd.d folder
{
disable = no
socket_type = stream
wait= no
user= root
server = /usr/sbin/in.ftpd
log_on_success += DURATION USERID
log_on_failure += USERID

}
Any suggestions ??

Re: Re:[newbie] ftp to share files
Hanan, I'm getting a bit lost here. I thought you had two eth cards. Usual setup for a static IP DSL system would be something like: eth0: 192.168.0.1 mask 255.255.255.0 eth1: ip-allocated-by-provider mask whatever-they-say iptables set up to masquerade through eth0 and allow anything and everything on eth0, but keep the nasties away on eth1. Of course eth0 and eth1 could be swapped - nothing special about which does what as long as the settings are consistent. Maybe we can just verify that the above is what you want to achieve, have you post a bunch of config files and see if we can sort it from there.

Re: Re:[newbie] ftp for file sharing
OK - a few point I can clarify, although I can't answer all of them. Obviously I can't read iptables settings 'cause I couldn't see any reason why local packets would be rejected. But yes, stopping the firewall will stop your connection sharing. This is not just a firewall to keep things out - it also tells IP where to forward packets. I wonder could you have eth0 listed as a public interface instead of as a trusted interface. I think that your bastille-firewall.cfg file should read: TRUSTED_IFACES=lo eth0 PUBLIC_IFACES=eth1 Perhaps check that first.

Re: Re:[newbie] ftp for file sharing
Oops - forgot to address the DHCP question. I should imagine that your eth1 interface would be set to get its address via DHCP unless you are paying for a permanent address. So this being the case, yes it will mess with your host name.

That IP is by definition a private network IP. What you might be mising is that you didn't restart your network services after modifying /etc/hosts. A 'kill -1 1' as root should fix that.

Re: [newbie] ftp to share files
Hanan, You can find out if it's running with the command (as root): service bastille-firewall status If it is and you want to try stopping it: service bastille-firewall stop (and of course .start to restart it) I suspect that this is not the problem however. How are your IP addresses and subnet masks set up? Oh, and there are much better ways than FTP - Samba would be the way to go.

Sounds like a permissions problem.

RE: [newbie] FTP upload; did I miss something?
I am signing as user type. When I use FTP it walked to my folder (my user name) and I can see this folder but can not up load. I read a book about WU-FTP but really don't know much about permission. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Mithrilhall2000 Sent: Saturday, January 05, 2002 8:02 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] FTP upload; did I miss something?
