I usually use FileZilla server (GPL) when I need a Windows FTP server, but I never needed an anonymous server before. I was not able to log on anonymously to FileZilla server. I created a user anonymous and unchecked the password box, but to no avail. If there is another trick to this and anyone knows it, post it and I will put in a link to FileZilla. I just didn't want to put a link to software that was going to end up frustrating people. Also, if someone does know of an Open Source Windows FTP server that works with anonymous login, please let me know what that is. | I usually use FileZilla server (GPL) when I need a Windows FTP server, but I never needed an anonymous server before.

Revision as of 23:00, 27 July 2006
Wikis are great and this one has a lot of potential. I'd like to see all of the pages of the FreeBSD Handbook in here in an editable format. I started with this page because I need to install 10 FreeBSD servers and I don't want to burn 20 CDs to do it. I looked at the handbook, but it is light on details. I'll add them as I discover them.
Proprietary ISO Mounting Software
Sorry I had to plug proprietary software here, but I don't know of anything else for this job. If anyone knows about some better software that runs on windows, please plug it instead. I have no problem with removing the plug to Daemon Tools if someone posts something FREE.
FileZilla - Problems Running Anonymous
I usually use FileZilla server (GPL) when I need a Windows FTP server, but I never needed an anonymous server before. I was not able to log on anonymously to FileZilla server. I created a user anonymous and unchecked the password box, but to no avail. If there is another trick to this and anyone knows it, post it and I will put in a link to FileZilla. I just didn't want to put a link to software that was going to end up frustrating people. Also, if someone does know of an Open Source Windows FTP server that works with anonymous login, please let me know what that is.
Instructions to Help People in Windows
I know some people will object to helping people in Windows. Even if it is to help them install FreeBSD. I just have to respectfully disagree and ask that you leave my instructions for those people up on the wiki. I also strongly dislike plugging proprietary software, and I would be happy to find anything to replace it.
