I have a small server within my intranet. I'd like to have a small web site, so that I set up apache.

I'd like to be able to load my pages through FTP typing something like:
Code:
 ftp://192.168.254.20

and then dragging and dropping into httpdocs (I wish Ialready was into ../httpdocs after authenticating)

So, the question is:

Which ftp-server is best suited and how do I configure it (simple guidelines)?

NB: Never installed a FTP-Server anywhere !!!

NB: I''m trying to get what any Hosting-Servece gives....

Thanks

i like pure-ftpd, are you trying ot setup a hosting service? pure supports virtual users or just system users you could create a user for each domain you host and set the users ftp home directory to ~/public_html

I installed pure-ftpd. I started it without modifying anything (just the server address..). Then I loaded windows explorer )-: and typed:
Code:
 ftp://192.168.254.20/

I expected a form to pop up asking for user and pasword but it didn't !

the problem must be connected with the FTP's configuration, since the expexted behaviour happens if I log into my provider's FTP-server.

Does anyone know how to fix that ?

Thanks
