Configuring Sendmail and VSFTPD

[Ben Sewell]

Pete, well you do have credit for sorting out the httpd.conf problem.=)
One thing now. I'm looking for a decent FTP server for myself and my friend 
uploading files. I know that wuftp is installed but I don't know where it is 
located or how to configure it. How good is this program anyways? I'm 
thinking about Proftpd (www.proftpd.org) but I'm open for an 
easy-to-configure and use FTP server.
