[CLUE-Tech] Linux FTP server accessible from Windows98

[ian]

There should be information on your vendor's site on how to enable the
ftp server.  Usually it involves loggin in as root and running a command
or two.

Grant is right.  It is less secure to use ftp, however it is usually easier
to initially get setup and running with.  

Does this answer your question?
