I was thinking of setting up an old fashioned ftp server my students could login to anonymously. I, in turn, could login with a passwd to modify content so I can share files with my students. I have a ssh server setup via knoppix-installer. How do I convert that to an ftp server (not sftp)?

TIA,
AJG

BTW, the last time I remember setting up an ftp server was before KNOPPIX was even around. I think I used Slackware 3.6 around 1996? Anyway, the ftp server was up an running by default after the hdd install. All you had to do was place files in /home/ftp and anyone could asccess them via anonymous ftp! Is there anything similar I can do with a knoppix-installered PC?

TIA,

apt-get install vsftpd

very fast, very secure, easily configurable.
