[Lancaster] Setting up ftp server

[Ken Hough]

Help!

I'm trying to understand how to set up ftp.

I've got a server running, as shown via a browser under 
'ftp://localhost:21'. I get directories shown as follows:

bin, dev, etc, lib, msgs, pub, usr

I can use 'ftp localhost' to log into and access user accounts and 
transfer files.

If I login as 'anonymous' or 'ftp', I only get the directories listed above.

Problem is that I cannot figure out how to add anything to the 'pub' 
directory to do anything useful. I can find lots of info on how to use 
ftp client, but nothing on how to manage/setup the server. Can anybody 
point me in the right direction?

What I wish to do presently is to set up ftp access to the DVD so as to 
do a remote ftp install of Debian. I've done remote installs with SuSE, 
but this allows installation via NFS, which I understand. Debian does 
not appear to cater for NFS.
