how do i start the FTP server?

[johnsmith01]

i have a HDD install does that affect ?

Why even ask that question and expect someone else to provide an answer when you could boot the CD and do a simple test to know the answer for certain?

sorry i didn't put the 3.9 what i meant was that if my version didn't have it anymore
by the way why would i want to boot the cd if i have knoppix installed ?
