    Newbie Help Please

    Ok I am new to linix so please help. I currently run apache on a windows machine. I am trying to set up a linux box using apache and I am having issues. I have the box setup and the basic apache setup woking. if I type in the address of my server I get the defualt page. The problem is trying to upload my website data to my llinux system. I am using an ftp program and loged onto my system as an anonomus user. I connect ok, I have the following folders avalible to me bin, dev, etc, lib, pub Now my apache root according to my default apache page is /var/www. Where is this? also when I try to transfer I file I get permission denied error.

    I know this is a real newbie question, but I have only been playing with this linux for about a week, so any help would be great

    Why don't you configure Samba and share out your /var/www folder, that way you can merely copy and paste your HTML pages. It's a lot easier than fussing with an FTP connection. JMHO

    The key to get samba working is to configure /etc/samba/smb.conf properly, I'm sure this and that could help.

    I have a web server running and I use a program called WinSCP which gives you a nice two window view of your box (Windows in this case) and your server. It is a free program and it allows secure file transfers via the drag and drop method. You just go to the server side and click into /var/www and copy your new page over. You may need to do an:

    Code:
    apt-get install ssh
    on your server to allow WinSCP to connect to it.
