SuSE 8.2 comes with PureFTPd. Just install PureFTPd, run the start up

/etc/init.d/pureftpd start

and from then on any system user can FTP to their home directory.

I use pure-ftpd and have been quite happy with it so far. It is on the pro
version (not sure about the personal one as I don't have that). Simply
install, and configure to your needs by editing the /etc/pure-ftpd.conf
file. It may also help to read the man page of pure-ftpd. Make sure you
open up the right ports on your firewall for it to work.

If you don't need anonymous access, a much better solution would be to
use sftp as it will use ssh to connect and encrypt your up- and
down-loads.

Cheers, Alex.

How to set up the sftp and ssh?

Change this in /etc/ssh/sshd_config:

#Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

To:

Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/ssh/sftp-server

Then people can sftp to your box.

sftp comes automatically with openssh. If it is not already activated by
default when you install it, you need to put it on in runlevels 3 and 5
with the YaST runlevel editor. Please, note that openssh has had some
security patches applied to it, yet. So, if you haven't installed it yet,
you need to update it via YOU or by hand immediately before letting
everybody connect to your port 22. Once you have the sshd daemon up and
running and opened port 22 on your firewall you should be able to connect
to it by simply typing
sftp ***@your.local.host.machine
on the remote host, where I assumed pseep to be your account name on
your.local.host.machine (replace that with your particular IP address). It
will then open up a challenge/response dialog which asks you for your
password, and let you connect to your home directory after passing.

Good luck, Alex.

vsftpd is not equal to sftp! If you want to use vsftpd you need to set it
up via inetd or xinetd. This can be done from YaST's network services
panel. You will then have to toggle ftp on and make sure that it
references the vsftpd daemon. I don't think that you want to use the other
ones that come with the distro (proftpd or wuftpd) as they are pretty
regular customers on bugtraq. Again, if you use vsftpd or pure-ftpd your
communications will not be encrypted by default.

There are tools for the windows. I use the Absolute Telnet to do my job.
