[LUGSB] Question about FTP.

[JST]

Wow thank you everyone who replied.

It is pretty interesting how many options there are for everything.  I
think that if I wanted to do this the simple way, I would just let my
little d-Link router just do it's thing, but I want to be able to play
around more than that.

I should have mentioned, this is for my home, where I get a single IP
from optimum online.  Right now, d-Link chugs away, but it really chokes
my bandwidth down even with the lastest firmware, and as we all know,
its not as flexible as a real system.  Of course, I am not capable of
administering a real system, but I want to.

There is no goal really, other than to have a server that does the same
job, but also serves files locally and publicly, and lets me do fun
things from anywhere I go.  Backup server, maybe a terminal server for
some of the weaker laptops in the house to make them still usable.

Hey maybe if anyone else has similar, we can mutually store each others
backups, I hear that is something that many people do for redundancy in
case one goes up in flames.
