| If you are going to run a business Web site from this box, isn't it wise to invest a little in the hardware and run a more robust and capable machine? Just food for thought. As to your questions, I've had excellent luck with Ubuntu Server, it's a minimal install and will install all the necessary LAMP functionality.
As for FTP, I use VSFTPD - easy to configure. To easily manage your box, assuming that this box isn't in a DMZ, is to install SAMBA and create a SAMBA share for your Web root and you can copy and paste the HTML and other associated files via a mapped drive or connected drive, depending upon OS. Best of luck. |
