Can i run an ftp server off of ubuntu linux or do i have to have an os specifically for servers?

Sam

I want to set up an ftp server that can be accessed across the internet and im running ubuntu 11.04. Do i need to partition my hard drive and install a server os on it to set up an ftp server?

Answer
You can just install the ftp software.

There is no significant difference between a ubuntu desktop and ubuntu server operating system, except that the server OS has no GUI installed.

I installed a server vsftpd on Ubuntu 10 but when I login on ftp and upload some files it sets to premission 600. How can I change that?

The 'local_umask' option in vsftp.conf sets this. Don't forget the leading zero.

Can you access a linux ftp server via browser ?

ongraiden

Im trying to configure a linux server's FTP to allow people to access it via browser similar to Windows IIS.

Answer
It's not a server configuration error. It depends which browser people are using to connect to the server.

go to ftp://serverip from firefox and it will look and act completely different than going to the same ftp://serverip from internet explorer. IE opens a window similar to windows explorer where files can be dragged and dropped in. Firefox will not. The best thing for people to use is an actual ftp client. They can even download a ftp portable app for their thumb drive. http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/filezilla_portable
