Can someone point me to a good howto or page that describes how to set up FTP for a website? I just want to allow access to my website for purposes of updating webpages, etc, from a remote computer... All the links I'm getting hits to discuss how to set up a FTP site for file sharing - that's not what I need for now. Or, if the explanation is short, share it?
If you have sshd running on the web server (likely) then by default it will have an sftp server enabled and you can just use sftp to upload files.
The regular ftp protocol sends usernames and passwords in plain text over the wires and isn't the best way of doing this.
