Well, I installed YDL 4.0 on my Macintosh G4, and am trying to set up HTTP and FTP, so I can host files for people and myself. It'll need to be multiple user. Help?
I'm a Linux/Unix/BSD n00b, so you'll have to forgive me.
"Multiple user" meaning you want multiple accounts on it? Multiple FTP logins? Multiple web directorys for users? I'm not sure what exactly you want out of this.
So that entails creating new FTP users, and then giving them access to the directory that is visible from the web. I *think* (I seriously don't know for sure, ask around) you create accounts on the system, and then go from there. Setting up FTP svrs on *X systems seems to be somewhat confusing for newbies like us
I might already have a FTP server installed and running. Try creating a user with the addusr or adduser command and set the home directory to the directory you want to have the FTP. Then try FTPing in and see if it works. It doesn't work with ROOT access.
For further help I would take a look at http://www.devside.net/web/server/linux and get some ideas. That site is great for showing how to setup HTTPDs and SQL servers.

Simply as I can, I want to be able to create a user who had their own HTTP and FTP area. So for example:
http://duffnet.serveftp.org/johndoe/ or the like, and have the user be able to upload to that.
