What is the most stable Linux kernel to use for a simple, secure, hands-off FTP server?

ftp server linux image

krog

I want to build a very simple, secure FTP server (with SSL), with little else, no GUI. I want to put this thing in a corner and let it run and forget about it. What Linux kernel do you recommend for this? Should I use a particular distro? Or put the pieces together myself? I'm a n00b, but want to learn and do it right. Thanks!

Answer
Try DSL Linux as a distro.

How to FTP Linux web logs to Windows server?

ongraiden

Ive been trying to figure out a script that can run on a windows 2003 server that will ftp web logs from a linux box back to the windows box on a daily basis. I can probably set the script in a schedule in the windows box but how do I write the script that will do the ftp work?
I could use a hand on the syntax for a script that will do this.
The FTP settings are ready I really just need the syntax on the batch script. I assume it's like xcopy something something right?

Answer
A simple batch file is all you need. FTP was intended to be used in scripts.
