FTP server setup

Hey Everyone!

I was just woundering if anyone had any tips on how to setup a FTP server. I have Suse Linux 8.2 installed. I am still kind of new at Linux. But anyways I am pretty much going to be the only user using it. I just want to be able to log on as a certain user, so I can upload files to my web server home dir. I also want to be able to add other users later later down the line and just have a certain set users that I can trust to be able to access the FTP server and no one else. So if anyone has any ideas let me know!

Thanks

install eg. wuftpd from your distr cd
1. rpm -i --test wuftp.X.X.X.i386.rpm (whatever name it comes as)
2. if depended on other packages, install them prior to installing wuftp
3. ready to install? issue rpm -ivh wuftp.X.X.X.i386.rpm
4. add user and group XYZ
5. create eg. /ftp/XYZ directory
6. set the ownership of the XYZ subdirectory in /ftp to XYZ user and group
7. change /etc/passwd XYZ entry like this: XYZ:x:506:507:Test user:/ftp/XYZ:/bin/bash (just change the home dir to /ftp/XYZ)
8. add: 'reluser XYZ' entry to your /etc/ftpaccess
9. test access from other host

That's it. It works for me this way.

Thanks alot it worked great!
