After hours of searching, reading, begging, whining and crying I am ready to face the linux world with my stupidity.
I rented a dedicated server running RH 8 and webmin. My linux experience is limited to running Mandrake 9 as a hobby. I can get around ok. CLI no longer intimidates me and I understand the basics. This server I rented is whipping me. I simply have not been able to do the simple things in either webmin or through ssh that I had hoped would be, well, simple.
Here is my question. Is it possible to use the server to download files from the internet? I want to add about 300 mbs of files and uploading will take far too long. I have root access. So hopefully with your help I can stop banging my head against my keyboard.:D

What you mean is set up a ftp, or a webserver?

You might be my new personal hero. I will try that out and let you know.

If you look at http://www.serverbeach.com it is one of theirs.
