Very Computer

I am following some instructions for making a my Solaris 2.6 system an
anoymous ftp server with WU-FTPD.  I finally got past the static linked
file probles of LS and now want to make the server accessible and browsable
by say Netscape browser.

I can't seem to copy the files /dev/tcp to my ~ftp/home/dev.  It appears to
be a link to a pseudo driver.  I am stumped.  When I try to copy, the
prompt just hangs until I quit.

Any help or pointers greatl appreciated!

TIA,

- read the manpage on in.ftpd in Solaris 2.6; it talks about how
  to do it (you have to use mknod to create the device entrie),
  and even has a script to do all that for you.

- save yourself from the hassle and take a look at e.g. proftpd
  (http://www.proftpd.org/). It doesn't need a chroot-jail like
  wu-ftpd or solaris in.ftpd.
