| I am new to Unix and SCO. Need some help in setting up FTP service in SCO. Thanx. | |

| You have to make sure that you have your ftpd daemon started up. you can add it to your run commands so that it will start up on bootup. Then you can alter the configuration files to allow anonymous ftp or require authenticated users. If you plan to use ftp for authenticated users, you would be better off using ssh, though. | |

| My SCO is KDE . And I don't have any experience in this. Can you give me a detailed procedure for setting up ftp?
Or any online articles I can refer to. I have only one book on SCO which is not helping me at all. I am just made responsible for this job. 
Thanx again. | |

| There are two ways to do this. One way would be to run the ftpd out of your inetd daemon. To do this, go into /etc/inetd.conf and then
uncomment the line where the ftp service is specified. FTP will then run out of the inetd daemon rather than as its own process. If you want to run FTP as an independent service, then go intoy our /etc/init.d directory, you have all the links for the services that arte running on your computer. You will want to make a link to the /etc/rc.d/r1?.d/ftpd files from the /etc/init.d/ftpd file. The will llok like:
/etc/init.d/rc.d/rc3.d/S15ftpd
where 'S' means 'start' and the 15 is the order in which the service is started upon startup. You will want to include this link in runlevels 3-5.
If your KDE has this option, try going to System --> SysVinit Editor or something that looks like that. then you can edit all of this stuff graphically (I don't think you will need to actually change the details as above, but just specify what services you want to start and at which runlevels). If you do not see this option, tell me what you do see. You might want to use the ksnapshot to post a pic of what your KDE version will allow you to do. Let me know if this helps (or doesn't). |
