Apache and FTP
I am running Apache 2 and need to set up a FTP Server. Do I need to set anything in Apache to let the FTP Server work? I am planing on using Serv-U

Got it working!
**For web pages, you don't even need ftp server...
**Apache 2 will work fine to serve HTTP web pages. I have it successfully set up. ( Check out my web site: http://fun.page.us (Currently it may simply say that the site is not up yet). It's on a dynamic IP so if it doesn't work, check again in 10 minutes. Sometimes my IP address changes every few minutes! But usually stays static for at least a day. )
FTP server is if you want people to download files (even web page files) without needing to (immediately) see them in a browser. FTP works great for letting people quickly and easily download any type of file, especially a long list of files or large files.
If you want people to SEE the web pages immediately, I recommend you set up Apache HTTP server for that purpose. If you also want to set up an ftp server for other files, that's up to you.
Thanks for the points! I'm wondering if there was an error in rewarding points, did I get too many (I got 1500)? lol. Well if I did, I hope I get to keep them for being honest & pointing out a potential problem :)

**Are you serving pages using the numbered IP? You know you can get a free name like I have? If you got a name already, can you post it so we get to see the pages you are serving :)

Oops, sorry. I misunderstood your comment about serving HTTP pages (thought you meant ONLY; I forgot that I'd asked about it before.)
So sorry for the needless rant!
