Hello all:

I'm experimenting with SUSE Linus 10.1 to create a LAN web server.

My primary goal is to have Apache running so that we can build and test web
pages.

Currently I've got Apache up and running. I can copy files locally into
www/htdocs and they can be read locally (http://127.0.0.1) and over the LAN
(http://192.168.1.133).

I now want to upload files into the www/htdocs subdirectory from the LAN.

Questions:

1. I assume that I'll need an FTP package to upload web pages into
www/htdocs. Am I right?
2. Can I use VSFTPD as the FTP package to upload web pages into
www/htdocs?

If the answers to both these questions are "Yes" then I'll need a bit of
coaching on VSFTPD configuration.

1. Should I create a user so that LAN users can upload files into the
www/htdocs subdirectory?
2. What kind of permissions shoud the new user have?
3. How do I configure VSFTPD to upload files from this user into
www/htdocs as the default directory?

Any other comments or pointers on this situation would be appreciated.
