Year of the linux desktop?

[Snarf]

Today's 10 minute task: set up an FTP server with a GUI.

apt-get install pureadmin
wait for it all to install,
run it,
SEG FAULT
uninstall

apt-get install gadmin-proftpd
Wait for it to install, run it... Error reading config file.
Fanny around with permissions on the directory that the installer just created... finally get the admin interface to run.
Set up a user.
Open connection from other PC... Looks good. Login: User not found. (The user is there. I can see it..)
Go back to the admin interface... Its locked up.
Restart the admin interface, create another user - still cannot log in.

uninstall.

And of course its linux so the advice that you get when you ask for help is about as helpful as asking NorthernLadUk for financial advice...

Right, Rant over.

If anyone knows of a half decent FTP server that has an easy to use GUI (Easy as in this needs to be handed over to a non technical business user to let them create new users) the advice would be appreciated.

Edit :
Oh, my, god pureftd wont uninstall now.

Does it have to be FTP?

I'd guess most cloud document storage provides some sort of user management.

Try OwnCloud. More like Dropbox but all clickable....

Yep, Got to be FTP.

I could have had this done on windows by ten past 9 and had my feet up!

Has to be FTP... But own cloud looks good, might get that set up for myself when I get home!

I'd bet there's 18,371 written in NodeJS, all with identical Guthub pages that tell you nothing at all about what they are or what they do.

Npm install-********-ftp. Simples.

Right Gadmin-ProFTPd got me the closest to what I actually need - At least the GUI ran!

Time to spend the evening fighting with it!

[chopper]

wget ftp://ftp.proftpd.org/distrib/source...d-1.3.6.tar.gz
tar -xvzf proftpd-1.3.6.tar.gz
cd proftpd-1.3.6
./configure
make
make install

Firstly use CompleteFTP

Secondly, NLUK won't thank me for this, however he has been incredibly helpful to myself and many other posters on many occasions. He has a low tolerance for idiots. Given his expertise, I don't think that is unreasonable.

PS have you asked your accountant how to set it up?
