How do I ftp into my computer?

9 May 2003

      I'm running 8.2 and wondering what I need to do to ftp into a specific
folder on my system. I only want, say - "FTP" folder to be an option for
someone...nothing else. What are the steps to set that up on my system?

Here's the catch, I have a firewall on a separate computer which runs
ipchains. How would I configure it to allow FTP to be passed thru to my
computer?

This is how most of the entries on my firewall.local are setup....

        ipchains -A output -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p udp \
                -s $EXTERNAL_IP $UNPRIVPORTS -d $ANYWHERE 4000 -j DENY
        -l

        ipchains -A input -i $EXTERNAL_INTERFACE -p udp \
                -s $ANYWHERE 4000 -d $EXTERNAL_IP $UNPRIVPORTS -j DENY
        -l

I would like ftp requests to be sent to 192.168.0.2. What would the
entry look like?

Thanks!
Tom
