OK Great, some good suggestions here. I've dumped vsftpd for proftpd because of the monitoring tools associated with it. However when I run ftptop here is what I get: $ or # ftptop ftptop: no curses or ncurses library on this system $ rpm -qa |grep ncurses ncurses-devel-5.4-5 ncurses-c++-devel-5.4-5 ncurses-5.4-5 It appears ncurses is installed, maybe ftptop can't find it for some reason? I'm running FC2 and the proftp daemon is working. Any suggestions? (I've googled) TIA, Julian On Sun, 2004-06-13 at 09:30, Alexander Dalloz wrote: > Am So, den 13.06.2004 schrieb Patrick Boutilier um 15:13: > > > > I cant say foe all unix ftp servers, but pro and pure ftpd have these > > > functions.
