Hi sachin_21_leo,
thanks for your help but belease help me in the following:

>>>2. If ur NIC is eth0 then open /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file and edit it accordingly for your IP address.
please give me more details

>>>>5. For giveing access to the ftp users, you will have to alloe the users by going into the file /etc/ftpusers

this file does not exist

>>>and also allow the users to connect remotely by editing the file... /opt/lampp/etc/proftpd.conf (if you use proftpd provided by xammp).

Here some of the file content:
# Normally, we want files to be overwriteable.
<Directory /opt/lampp/htdocs/*>
  AllowOverwrite            on
</Directory>

# only for the web servers content
DefaultRoot /opt/lampp/htdocs

# nobody gets the password "lampp"
# commented out by lampp security
#UserPassword nobody wRPBu8u4YP0CY
UserPassword nobody dD5fNunvq4MWg

how to create more than one user (which it's name not nobody) and assign them username and password so that when he log in from windows based machine with ftp client the only folder to see is that is the one with his name and only who know his user name and password (him only) can log to that folder and uplaod his developed script on

please send me the syntax to be written or direct me to a tutorial that help in that :)
Best Regards
