I have an ftp server that I can run from a SuSE Linux box and have used 
it to do remote installations of Linux, but I am not familiar enough 
with Debian to advise via internet about your system.

Under SuSE, the ftp appication (I use pure-ftp) can be loaded and 
configured via YAST.  The default ftp directory is under /srv/ftp. A 
script to start/stop/restart can then be found under /etc/init.d. Note 
that this must be done as root.

Anyone else out there who can help?
