A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).

thanks for your help but belease help me in the following:
>>>2. If ur NIC is eth0 then open /etc/sysconfig/network-scr
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.con
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 :)
