WU-ftp help please.

[DarkRage]

I am new to linux, so please have patience with me. I have just started using wu-ftp. I understnd the user site of it, what I don;t understand is the guest side.

How do I impliment a guest user? I am willing to do it all from command line, but is there an easier way? IE a GUI interface in KDE, or GNOME I don;t know about?

I am using Mandrake 7.2. Thank-you everyone, in advance. Once again, any command line or GUI help for wu-ftp. wouls be much appreciated.

The way we have our ftp server set up is that each user must have an account and they have to log in each time they want to initiate an FTP transfer.

Once you set up the user, it doesn't really matter what they connect with. I use either Dreamweaver or WS FTP Pro as my FTP clients, and each one has site profiles where the user can enter his/her password and the program automatically logs you in and puts yo in your home dir.

I think if you read up on passive FTP, there are ways to set up anonymous users also. But it's easy to add users (use the adduser command as root.

I do most of my transfers from a windows machine, however if you will be doing ftp transfers from a linux box, you will need to find some type of comparable FTP client program for your window manager.

Good Luck!

THank-you I appreciate that Advice. Unfortunately, I already understand that part of it. I am looking for a solution for a secure guest, where he is locked down to his home directory.

Do you understand what I mean?

Once again thank-you though.
