How do I make my Knoppix PC into an ftp server?

**A. Jorge Garcia** · 10-31-2003, 12:54 AM

I just got this sort of working with fish. I needed to setup sshd on the server and ssh on the clients. Is there some equivalent ftpd I need on the server?

TIA,

Well, I finaly found time to trie configuration of SSH on my FTP server using Knoppix 3.1. Started the box in text-mode as usual.
Tried to start SSH with

Code:

sshstart

It gave an error-message:

Code:

rxtv: can't open display : 0

What can be wrong?

How about this as root#

/etc/init.d/ssh start

Hope this helps

I've read that sshstart was a script which takes care of configuration also.
ssh start does start SSH, but does not do anything to configure the server.

Try <K><KNOPPIX><SERVICES><START SSHD>

Enjoy,

That does not work in text mode.

Why must you run in text mode?

I did an upgrade to Knoopix 3.3 and now the command

Code:

sshstart

works fine in textmode.
I run in textmode, because I do not need al the overhead. The PC is just an FTP server.

Because I want to configure my firewall as well, I would like to know which port is used by SSHD.

I'm glad you got it working!
I believe the default for ssh is port 22

Hope this helps
