Put your win2k CD into the disk drive
go to the control panel
goto add/remove programs
goto add/remove windows components
Select IIS services click detail.
select the ftp service
click next till end of the installation process.

Put your Linux distro into the disk drive
choose to install as a server enviro
ftp will be there by default for most of the popular distros
to check - type 'ps aux' in a terminal...
heehee - how's that for even more laconic?

you are both missing the point here, what use is it hosting a ftp server if no-one on the internet can access it? His router wont forward ports except if he sets it up to do so, or change it to bridged mode so that the server makes a pppoe connection.
1. change router to bridge mode, let server dialup to interner
2. set router up to forward ports to server, this however requires setting fixed ports on both router and the ftp server you have. Its also diffferent for every brand router you get, even different models differ from one brand. Not the easiest way, but definitly the safer way.

Aaahhh OK, OK! My response was just a sideways swipe at q's response, but *nux-oriented instead of Win - which was the original question according to the title of the thread and post! Anyways, whoever is so inclined may assist appropriately - I don't run an ftp server, so will shutup for now...
