You can always find many how tos at www.linuxdoc.org which can help you. I am assuming that you want to setup a server as opposed to just using ftp. You can also look in /usr/share/doc/packages and go into the directory of the package you want to use (I use wuftp) and there is some documentation in there as well.

I've got no experience with using ftp on my SuSE 7.2 box. Could someone tell me about a good resource for getting started please? I've done a search, but I get thousands of hits back (It's impossible to know which ones are relevant without going through them one-by-one). I also need to know how to get ftp working through a firewall and proxy server. Again I've done a search, and again get loads of hits back.

Thanks for any help,

Gerry.

If you need a good, all around book on using the Internet (ftp, telnet and other goodies) take a look at Internet in a Nutshell from www.oreilly.com. All O'Reilly books are good. -- +----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ + Bruce S.
