Naitik.I have both ProFTPD and WU-FTP installed on the desktop (along with Webmin), but have not established my own FTP server before. Could someone give a pointer as to how to set this up to get the files from the laptop to the desktop? Thanks.
It is very simple.
Step 1: apt-get install bsd-ftpd OR apt-get install wuftpd
Step 2: check that your iptables rules (if any) allow incoming port 21
Step 3: fire up ftp client in w2k and give it the host (IP, or hostname
if you run DNS), username, and password
Step 4: copy
