Re: [K12OSN] server-side Ftp

Policy  :P , since when do kids **cough** **cough**, I mean Linux folks 
follow that.  ;)  Policy can be interpretted many ways.  Since they 
don't allow it most likely means they a.  don't support and b. won't 
provide/buy it.  I also believe they should have exposure to it.

I'll tell you what, give me your address and I will send you a machine 
loaded with RH9, Apache and whatever else you need.  You can use putty ( 
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ ) for sshing into it 
and a win scp client ( http://winscp.vse.cz/eng/download.php ) to 
transfer to/fro it.   This is a donation from me to you.  This would 
think this would side track the "policy" since they don't have to 
purchase or maintain it.  I'll provide the keyboard, mouse and cpu.  You 
can temporary hook a monitor up to it and run it headless after you've 
set it up.  Seeing I am working on shipping stuff out for other folks it 
is not a problem.

Let me know if your interested.

BMan
