    FTP In Debian

    This is probably easier than I think it is. I just switched to Debian from Slackware. In Slackware it was extremly easy for me to get a FTP server up and running I hope its just as easy in Debian. I did a full install of Debian 4.0 with everything selected. I want to enable whatever debian is using for an FTP server but I'm still new to it. Can someone point me in the right direction to find out how I can make this happen. I would like to install proftpd or vsftpd and have it up and running but I'll be content with whatever comes on Debian if it gets the job done. I'm still getting use to the Debian package manager and don't want to accidently install a bunch of packages that I don't need or go about doing this wrong. I'm still sort of use to doing everything the slackware way, uncommenting which server I wanted to use and rebooting then just configuring a text file. I get a little touchy using a package manager I use to like to just resolve my own dependencies and like to personally know everything that was on my system

    I don't know if this is a stupid question or not, some things were just too easy to do in Slack but I grew a little impatient with not having a package manager to get some new software I wanted so I decided to give Debian a full shot again. I'm just looking for a simple and quick way to make this FTP server happen.

    Well, I use vsftpd on my Debian box.
    As root, I started the dselect program and selected the vsftpd program with a "+". Then I told it to install and it was installed and set up.
    Debian GNU/Linux -- You know you want it.
